Problem with xlibre and xorg-drivers [solved]

[nyback2]

I follow the instructions, have checked gentoo wiki xlibre page, overlay readme, and an issues thread in the xlibre git on the wiki contents. but it always wants to pull in xorg-drivers. And fails on xf86-video-intel
I think it should not pull in those, but use the xlibre-drivers package instead when using xlibre-server.
Anyone had any success?

I've split your post from Xorg forked to XLibre into a seperate one, to make it more visible. Feel free to edit the topic title to your linking be editing your post.

As per our Guidelines part 4. Include logs and tell us commands execute, please include them here. You can use https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wgetpaste to provide large log files.

What commands did you run?
Just these should work:

Code: Select all

emerge -C xorg-server xorg-drivers
emerge -av xorg-server::xlibre

The -C is necessary, because xorg-server is a dummy package that pulls in xlibre-server, which would conflict with the regular xorg-server package.
Note that some use flags were added to the {xorg,xlibre}-server packages, like glx and glx-dri, so if you want them, you should enable them (they are enabled by default).
If something else on your system already pulls in xorg-server, you can --oneshot it.

Thanks for replying

Code: Select all

emerge -C xorg-server xorg-drivers
emerge -av xorg-server::xlibre

When i run this i get this on the second step:

Code: Select all

> emerge -av xorg-server::xlibre

And i will get error on dri2 on x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel
But my guess is that those gentoo packages should not get pulled in?

As you can see, i have a long set of cards in video_cards set, and all use flags imaginable. We are running a binhost that builds for a number of computers in our network.

What is your priority on the xlibre repo? Default or have you set it?

[stefan11111]

When i run this i get this on the second step:

It looks like the the gentoo packages take precedence on your system over the xlibre packages.
Try masking them. Add this to /etc/portage/package.mask

Code: Select all

x11-drivers/*::gentoo

Also, I see that you are using the stable xlibre packages.
If you are using xlibre for some feature that was added, it's likely that it's in the 25.1 release or in master only.
In that case, you want to add this to /etc/portage/package.accepy_keywords, until we package the 25.1 release:

Code: Select all

*/*::xlibre **

[nyback2]

Looking much better

Code: Select all

> emerge -av xorg-server::xlibre

unmerged all xf86-::gentoo and masked the gentoo stuff, and de-keyworded xlibre stuff

x11-drivers/xf86-input-vmmouse-9999::xlibre -> required nolto to compile. I have global lto turned on.

On our binary host, also this one was needed:

Code: Select all

=x11-base/xorg-server-9999:0/9999::xlibre       -elogind

Could have been the priority thing too. Maybe. But default priority is negative so a priority of 100 on xlibre should not matter. Maybe.

Thanks
On to try it out. Need X11. And openrc. and kde (looks depressing on kde going forward
