Just installed xorg-server-1.8.0 yesterday. The only problem I had was I forgot to recompile xf86-video-ati, xf86-input-keyboard, and xf86-input-mouse because of ABI changes. :P

As soon as the k3b ebuild stops requiring hal, I can get rid of hal completely.


Never had hal installed in the first place :) And yes, k3b is the only piece of software that made me uncomfortable :(

got it working with nvidia-drivers-195.36.15

Code:
emerge --unmerge nvidia-drivers

- unmerged nvidia-drivers before building xorg-server 1.8.0 because of sandbox errors
maybe "eselect opengl set xorg-x11" would have had the same effect?

Code:
emerge -v1 xorg-server xorg-drivers
emerge -v1O nvidia-drivers

- "-O" because of <xorg-server-1.7.99 dependency

Code:
eselect opengl set nvidia


- add to example xorg.conf from first post:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Layout"
    Option "IgnoreABI" "on"
EndSection

else the driver refuses to load

- start X - voila


i can add that nouveau on linux-2.6.34-rc3 works fine for me too.

'it just works' (tm) for me, with USE='-hal udev'. I didn't do any configuration - no xorg.conf, no xorg.conf.d, fully functional touchpad with multitouch working and everything.

eeepc, intel 945, kms, using evdev for input.

Hello,

I try to install Xorg-server 1.8 on my system.
I use autounmask to do the unmasking.

But now I have the problem that unmong others xextproto-999 and xproto-7.0.4 will be installed which causes blocked packages.

How to solve this ?

autounmask, yet comfortable, is probably not the best way to handle things. Do you operate an arch or ~arch system?

emerge --sync again if you don't have those inside portage already (check with 'equery l -iop <packagename>):
x11-proto/xproto-7.0.16
x11-proto/xextproto-7.1.1
Those two packages should suffice for xorg-server-1.8.0.

Hello Genstorm

Im working on arch system (x86_86).

Should I delete all the contents of the autounmasking and start over again ?

No, you can keep those as mixing an arch system with particular bleeding edge package versions that have lots of dependencies (such as xorg-server) can be exhaustive manual work.

Just check if the versions I posted above are already available on your system (they should, if you synced recently), unmask them, try to install xorg-server again and paste here the particular blocks if they still remain.

Hello Genstorm,

I have these blocks.

libext-1.-.99 -> xextproto-9999
libvtst-1.0.99.2 -> recordproto-9999
libxl-1.2.99 -> inputproto-9999
libxxf86vm -> xf86vidmodeproto-9999

And what about the other thing I did ask you for? ;)

Look, for all those packages there are final versions in portage that will work with xorg-server-1.8.0, resolving those blocks (or rather, enabling you to _not_ use 9999 live versions). At first though, it seems you have to emerge --sync to get those versions and re-run autounmask.

Also, be sure to run layman -s x11 again because there have been some recent changes (as I write this, layman pulls another very recent commit) to the xorg-server-1.8.0 ebuild and patches added to make various things work and some of my docs here obsolete.

Hello Genstorm.

I did a emerge --sync and after that layman -s x11.
After that i did auto unmask the x11 package but autounmask still gives the same blocks.

So i have to auto unmask all the other packages ?

You have to autounmask the xorg-server package. xorg-x11 is just a meta package pulling in lots of stuff you're never going to need, and besides, it's far behind (usually just covers arch versions). I always emerge xorg-server which pulls in all the dependencies it needs, instead of the xorg-x11 bloat.

If it still won't work, please copy-paste the exact emerge output with the blocks.

Sorry for the confusion.
I did all the steps with the xorg-server-1.8.0 package.

Still the same error messages.
And I want to copy/paste the blocks but I have a fresh install so no X and no WM.

Is there a way I can do the steps you want.
emerge =xorg-server-1.8.0 >> error.txt won't do the trick.

Hello Genstorm.

Not working. The last line in emerge.output is Calculating depencies.

Rion,

I want to have a system without HAL so i try to make 1.8 working.

Did you let it finish? I just let portage calculate around 1000 packages and everything is there inside my log file.

Hello Genstorm,

It don't finisch. After the calculating I see that a lot of packages are going to be emerged and then the block packages.

roelof, I can't reproduce your issues. Which doesn't tell much of course. ;) I temporarily put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" into my /etc/make.conf and did "emerge -vep =xorg-server-1.8.0" to see which blocks would greet me. I only had to put the following packages into a new file to resolve blocks:

/etc/portage/package.keywords/xorg-1.8.keywords
Code:
=x11-libs/libXxf86vm-1.1.0
=x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.3
#should have been covered by autounmask, I guess:
=x11-base/xorg-server-1.8.0
=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.8

The remaining dependencies would all have been cleanly downgraded to their lesser arch versions without any remaining blocks. The list for x86 of course might be different. So, put those x11 packages that portage still complains about blocks with into a custom file inside /etc/portage/package.keywords/ just as I did above. Best idea is to choose their latest final versions, which you get by doing equery l -p <packagename>, where again (to make it work like that) I advise you to unmask an ~x86 version of a package (because the command lines changed between 0.2 and 0.3 and I don't remember the old ones anymore):

# echo "=app-portage/gentoolkit-0.3.0*" > /etc/portage/package.keywords/i-want-my-lovely-portage-tools-warm-and-crunchy
# emerge -va gentoolkit
# equery l -p <packagename>


Why autounmask is unable to achieve that by itself is misterious to me, but then I never liked the idea of it anyway.

PS: For simplicity, I assumed you use a package.keywords directory. If you use a file instead, of course append any package atoms there instead of trying to create a file inside a file. ;)

Concerning nvidia-drivers, someone posted a quick howto on getting the latest drivers to work, just above:

It's dirty but it seems to work. ;)

Shouldn't synaptics be a better choice for a touchpad?
