Xorg 6.8.2 released

Hmmm...

I always fighting to compile Xorg with hardened gcc and/or dlloader.
Tried with 6.8.2... Yesterday all night program... Compiling 4 times...

So, it WILL always fail if compiled with hardened gcc. If I USE="-hardened", the same.
So tried with vanilla gcc profile and WITH dlloader flag. Yup, fails again...
Now it compiles with vanilla gcc, -hardened and -dlloader. It will work as always, but I would like to use dynamic module loading (and hardened stuffs).

So, shit happens... but why?!? It is an Athlon machine, but on a PII it works well with hardened gcc, hardened and dlloader flag.

I'm having this problem:

Code: Select all

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libddc.a
(II) Module ddc: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
	compiled for 6.8.2, module version = 1.0.0
	ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7
(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"

Duplicate symbol __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:xm_tri.o
Also defined in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a

Fatal server error:
Module load failure

anyone helps?

Yeah, I got always these kind of errors when using the dlloader flag.

More precisely: if using hardened gcc profile without dlloader, I will get undefined symbol errors in the graphic driver module. If using dlloader, than these kind of errors (duplicate symbols).

Try without hardened gcc, without hardened flag and without dlloader flag.

I'm compiling right now...

could it be the cflags you're using? I compiled it quite happily on my althon machine with USE="+mmx +3dnow" without any problems...i'm also using gcc 3.4.3

Think i'll try hardened a bit later

Yes, it MUST be CFLAGS, but I tried conservative ones, too, with the same result...
And not-hardened gcc works, if I don't use the DLLOADER flag. But dlloader always kills my X...
(BTW, I found that the ebuild kills almost every CFLAG I use, so it looks it is no matter what I define, because the ebuild process will use only some of them.)

Yeah, but does GLX work is the question? Do me a favor and run glx-gears and see what happens Wink If they run while you have composite enabled, I will bow down and emerge this immediately.

I have it working with nvidia just fine. GLX also works, i.e. no real slow downs or performance problems. However, OpenGL programs can interact in an odd way with the desktop when composite is enabled. (This is not a problems with X.org, but the fact that DMs and WMs haven't added support for it yet) For instance, when I'm using blender with composite turned on, and my mouse touches the edge of the screen, the meters from gkrellm pop up. Shading windows is screwey too, they roll up, but the shadow is left behind.

When i use composite with virtual resolution every gets odd. See this post

hmm, I am running without composite now, because it is still a bit to buggy for me. But even without composite, glxgears seems to be unusually low, not sure if this is because of the xorg upgrade or not.

I have an nvidia geforce 6800 ultra oc and i'm only getting a score of about 7000.

I got a better score with my geforce fx 5900!

any ideas?

I have noticed that sometime Xorg would crash when i resize some apps. For now it seems random and only happened a few times.

Whereas I'm getting up to 100% cpu usage when running xcompmgr, even with just the -n option. This is on an Athlon MP, but with a rather old card (64M GeForce2). Direct rendering is working but I can't use the RenderAccel option as it quickly causes lockups.
Presumably this is all due to the machine being SMP. I have a similar installation on a UP machine with the same graphics card but a feebler processor (Athlon 1400), but xcompmgr is nowhere near as bad and no lockups occur with the RenderAccel.

I keep getting this during my xorg update yy_prev_more_offset undeclared this is during the make operation the undeclared variable seems to be in yylex. Any idea's as to what could be causing the problem? Here is more detailed output:

Code: Select all

<stdout>: In function `yylex':
<stdout>:1199: error: `yy_prev_more_offset' undeclared (first use in this function)
<stdout>:1199: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once

make: *** [World] Error 2

What's the deal here is it just the ebuild or might I have a bad configuration? I never installed ati drivers I just stuck with the default.

And I was looking forward to being updated by the time I returned from class.

I'm having weird problems with 6.8.2, too. I don't use composite...

Here's my thread in the games forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-303501.html

Please, anybody help ! I got 3d accel running after so much time, and now this weird problem about the x11 driver not being configured with opengl, and some applications can't even find the gl headers, but others do !

Any help is appreciated...
