From gentoo-dev Hi all, Just wanted to make you aware that xorg-server 1.1 (and all release candidates, including 1.0.99 and up) breaks the server-driver ABI from 1.0. This means drivers are not compatible following an upgrade of xorg-server, and both sides will require an update to work again properly. This also means that all binary drivers (nvidia, ati, etc) will be broken with xorg-server 1.1 and RC's until their upstream vendor provides a compatible update. Everything with the new ABI is currently masked, but when X.Org 7.1 is released, will come out of package.mask. We are working to ensure the dependencies work as smoothly as possible, but I expect there will be some issues since it's difficult to require updates to all these optional drivers following an update to the server. Thanks, Donnie -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

after xorg-server update fglrx driver wont work, even after (re)emerge, should i file a bug? any suggesions? now i see option to downgrade where i was before, yes and X just crashed with xorg ati drivers. from Xorg.0.log: (II) Loading extension XFree86-DRI (II) LoadModule: fglrx (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so (II) Module fglrx: vendor=FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc. compiled for 6.8.99.8, module version = 8.23.7 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7 (EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1) (II) UnloadModule: fglrx (II) Unloading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so (EE) Failed to load module fglrx (module requirement mismatch, 0) compiled for 6.8.99.8 ? perhaps you should recompile the ati-driver. Well, besides that: i assume, that you don't want the latest alpha/beta/rc-version of xorg, but there are more and more masked xorg-related packages of that kind in portage. xorg 7.0 is already marked as ~x86, so you can safely remove all xorg-packages from /etc/portage/package.unmask.
