You might have noticed that xorg-x11 has entered its next release cycle, leading up to -6.9. Currently, it is package-masked and has no sparc keyword. In the next day or so --- certainly by the end of this week --- I am going to build it and start testing. If it works, I'll give it a ~sparc keyword. If you want to play with it, you'll have to unmask it yourself in /etc/portage.
Documentation at freedesktop http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/#head-7f9963a87b2eb461fc821f70af0cecbb33788ba8 indicates that the sunffb -xaa- patch is now included with the standard distribution, and comments at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1259 suggest that the sunleo fix is included, too (although summary comments do not so indicate). If these are the case, I'll start cleaning up various associated Gentoo bugs. NOTE: For those of you who have been living under rocks, the xaa/render improvements for sunffb are incompatible with DRI, and Creator/DRI is therefore disabled in the xorg-x11 sunffb driver. With this, all pretense of Creator+DRI+xorg-x11 is gone. (The Mesa/openGL libraries are still present and usable, of course.) Oh, yes. How do you recognize the ebuilds for pre-6.9? Look for xorg-x11-6.8.99.xx. (Hm, that's the subject line of this note, isn't it :-) ) Comments, test results, feedback welcome.
