xorg-server-1.2.0 fails to load module pcidata

[dentharg]

I've just upgraded xorg-server to 1.2.0 and mesa-progs to 6.5.2.
After that - X stopped to start due to an error
Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist, 0)

I had to downgrade to 1.1.1-r4
Anyone has the same problems?

I'm using binary drivers from nvidia but I don't think they make problem.

[Dan]

kinda difficult to tell now since you have already downgraded. If you want to try again, maybe someone could help.

No problem for me. I have binary packages for both versions.

I had also to reemerge all of xf86-input-* I use after downgrade.

So, what should I do and post here?

[Dan]

emerge xorg-server and post if you get problems.

It builds ok but directory /usr/lib/xorg/modules is empty.
Hence - no libpcidata.so can be loaded.

I just upgraded to confirm that I was not attempting to help you with something that was broken.
all I did was add
<=x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0
<=x11-libs/libXfont-1.2.7
<=media-libs/mesa-6.5.2
to /etc/portage/package.keywords
and emerge -uDN world
which obviously pulled in
media-libs/mesa-6.5.2
x11-libs/libXfont-1.2.7
x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0
I ran revdep-rebuild to confirm nothing else needed rebuilding and as expected nothing did.
then I /etc/init.d/xdm restart and everything started just fine.

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|grep pcidata

x11-base/xorg-server-1.2.0 (/usr/lib/xorg/modules/libpcidata.so)

so I guess the question is, did you do something different?

Here are the USE flags I built it with.
emerge -tpv xorg-server

ok when the install is finishing up do you not see it installing the modules? Are you logging portage?
add PORT_LOGDIR="/var/log/portage/" to make.conf and re emerge xorg-server
maybe on your system the module path changed and you just need to change it in xorg.conf
locate pcidata

you should be able to see it installing the modules at ...

Thanks. I'll try logging portage.
I've already used mc to find all files containing 'pcidata' in the name - with no success.

[dentharg]

I've just reemerged it using previously posted flags - my xorg-server does not compile any modules..

[dentharg]

Now, this is fooking weird.

When I've emerge xorg-server using make.conf entries

[david.stevenson]

I think I have the same problem
I have
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse synaptics"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia nv"
in make.conf and these were used fine last time I emerged xorg but now they are being ignored
emerge -pv xorg-x11 shows all options as unused, even marking the change from last time when these modules were included.
