 |
|
Hi all.
libX11, libXext were rebuilt with that ABI_X86, and app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs are removed
Now, looking at nvidia-drivers ebuild, can't undestand why Im getting (-X):
| Code: | | [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.13 USE="(multilib) (-X) -acpi -pax_kernel (-tools)" 0 kB |
What else should be checked?

What profile is selected ? | Code: | | eselect profile list |
Adding X to the driver will not be sufficient, and nvidia drivers are normally pushed by xorg-server meta package.

isn't flags in brackets flags that have been removed (and those with % and in yellow new flags)
ie the X flag is no longer present - kind of make sense for a gfx driver & what it has to depend on

A useflag in (...) is a masked useflag. This means that someone wants to forbid the use of this flag (in most cases due to more or less severe breakage.
You can (if you know what you do) unmask it again by create an entry in /etc/portage/package.use.force (either in a file with this path or in a file in a directory called package.use.mask.
The entry should look like this:
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers -X
You should not that these masks are seldom without a reason and most likely it won't work correctly.
In your case I assume that you use a hardened profile: X for nvidia-drivers is masked in this case because the driver doesn't play nice with pax. |

hardened profile is used, but is not activated for now..
XavierMiller
and why would one care about mesa if one needs a nvidia-bundled libGL.so?

thanks, that seems to solve the problem, anyway will not test it until next nvidia-drivers version.

Hardened profile is used but not active? That's not possible. Maybe you don't use the hardened kernel options, but as soon as you switch to the hardened profile you'll get the hardened useflags and after a rebuild the hardened toolchain. |
