Hi,

I've just tried emerging the xorg-server-0.99.1-r5 following the migration guide that Donnie Berkholtz produced. I'm using a hardened system, so all the pic/pie stuff is in there and I've had trouble with modular systems and pic/pie before (gstreamer, qt, etc). I've tried starting it up and lots of the modules say there are undefined symbol errors, nv, fbdev, vesa and vga all say they have them. I've also tried a modified ebuild for nvidia-glx to drop the files in the right place and that mentions undefined symbols (specifically SecurityLookupIDByType). The only indication that anyone else has seen this was a post earlier in this thread by clotho67. He was experiencing the same problem as me:

Sure enough,

Using vanilla gcc to compile the xf86-video-nv driver meant it resolved all the symbols and started up. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this, or whether it's a fully fledged bug? Any help would be appreciated, it'd be really nice to be able to build Xorg modularly in a hardened environment...

So the saga continues,

I recompiled all the packages I'd installed since I started this modular-x experiment using the vanilla gcc specs. The entire thing built, but the nvidia kernel driver still says it's missing a SecurityLookupTypeByID symbol (which I've found mention of in dix.h and Resource.h in /usr/include/xorg). Could be I've just got some files in the wrong place, but I'm giving up on that. The reason I was trying so hard with the video driver is because the standard nv one seems *really* slow and I also discovered the reason for this. Whilst xorg says it's loading up dri and all the bits and pieces that go with it and Xorg.0.log says everything's fine, xdpyinfo doesn't list them anywhere, not even a "Direct Rendering: No" line, nothing, and I don't think there's any DRI going on because dragging a window around the screen pushes the CPU to full, and releasing it the CPU drops again, which I don't recall happening on my previous setup. So I'm gonna put this one back on the shelf too, at least until Spyderous comes back and we've got more help on these topics...

I still be watching the thread so if anyone comes up with any solutions or figures anything else, post it here please.

Thanks,

Mike 5:)

well I don't have a solution for you, but the nv driver in xorg (not the nvidia proprietary driver) doesn't support dri (that's why you see direct rendering: No). But it seems like in the xorg cvs, the nv driver just got EXA support, which means that it should be working pretty fast for 2d operations even with composite enabled.. there are still a few issues.. but maybe in the next -rc1 release the bugs will be addressed..

Ahh,

Ok, that's very helpful, thanks very much! I'll keep my eyes open for the next release then.

I only hope they've managed to figure out why compiling it with the hardened specs breaks it too...

Oh, Ok,

Well that makes some more sense, I guess lazy bindings could be a bad thing. I'm still a little uncertain since if everything is loaded at start-up and nothing delays bindings, the plugin should be able to find whatever it's looking for, shouldn't it? And if it can't then this is an actual bug? Hmmm, I wish I knew more about this stuff. I tried defining my LDFLAGS specifically but I'm not entirely certain of which flags I should have been using, presumably I ought to have tried -Wl,-z,combreloc. However that still doesn't explain why it needs that. I think I'll file a bug once I give it another (not for a few weeks probably, I've only just got my system back to a working state)...

Thanks for clearing that up clotho!

Still can't get xmodmap working for evdev_drv (even with the patch I submitted for libX11 and wich is in portage now).
Apperently there is more to be fixed to solve the bugs. Also my keyboard configuration is broken, can't get deadkeys and mode switch working.

I can't get gnome-settings-daemon to load with Xorg modular. I would like to know if someone else running gnome 2.10.2 has been able to get all of their settings to apply. I have run a couple of straces on the program and I keep getting errors with xrdb.

rapsure

I can get my gnome-settings-daemon to work correctly when I install the 6.8.99.15 version of X.org, but I can't get it to work in xorg modular. A little help would make the transition to xorg modular possible.

I've resolved the problem with nvidia missing SecurityLookupTypeByID, the problem is that not all the configuration options are selected, when building the server . There are some dependancies missing and I have installed some more libraries in search of this, but what really matters is the following switch, which should be added on configuring:

Anybody else experiencing DGA trouble with the modular xorg? I have the protocol headers and the library installed, haven't disabled it in xorg.conf and yet DGA seems to be missing (vmware complains about this). What could be the reason?
Driver is 'i810' and hardware is i915GM.

Nvidia, but I have installed probably all the new libraries and rebuilded the xorg-server (and nvidia-binary driver - I didn't try it with nv) numerous times, because the standard emerge breaks all possible packages on the system.

I have a hp pavilion dv4060 laptop with i915Gm vga, using driver i810. Cant get dri working correctly, thought that I should try out xorg-x11-6.8.99.900, but it isnt in the portage,
How can I install it and try it out?

its located here: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/X11R6.9-RC0

I have unmasked, but only 6.8.99.15 exists, not the 6.8.99.900-rc0.

What do you mean with modular version? How can I also install the modular version?

cheers

btw, I just installed the 6.8.99.900-rc0, but cant run it, get this error:

The module path has changed. You need to edit you xorg.conf. It's covered further up in this thread

Alright there is some stuff I dont really understand..

What tha hell is modular X? I have read the previous posts and none say anything about it..
why use modular X??
why emerge xorg-server? I mean i have never seen this been emerged when I have emerged xorg-x11?

Any kind of enlightment is welcomed..

cheers

just read here: http://wiki.x.org/wiki/ModularizationProposal
but I think ppl already answered it... anyway, 6.9 will be identical to 7.0... the only difference will be the one being monolithic and the other one modular...
