I already tested every possibility of which I could think of version changes resulting in an upgrade to 6.8.1.903 and things seem to be working fine now.
The most significant change is that it migrates all of /usr/X11R6 to /usr and symlinks /usr/X11R6 -> /usr.
I have installed this release candidate on a couple sparc systems, and note the following:
1. (Previously noted) A couple font directories (cyrillic, ukr) were
never made into symbolic links before, and right now they must be
removed by hand;
2. (Previously noted) A couple orphan symbolic links:
a. /usr/include/X11/X11 --> ../X11R6/include/X11
b. /usr/include/GL/GL --> ../X11R6/include/GL (I think; I removed it
before writing this note.)
3. For some reason, /usr/include/GL/glu.h does not get installed (it is
not in /var/tmp/portage/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903/image). With version
6.8.1.902, it is in the image directory and is installed. The problem
seems to be that with ...903, nothing which started in
/usr/X11R6/include/GL is installed, but only files from
opengl/xorg-x11.
So, for example, GL/glext.h is present (it is in both GL/include and
in opengl/xorg-x11/include originally), but GL/glu.h is not installed
because it is only in include/GL to begin with.This might be sparc only; I cannot verify.
I note that for one install, this file (glu.h) was automatically moved to /usr/include/GL/glu.h, but apparently from /usr/X11R6/include/GL, because it is definitely not in the image for .903.
4. (Sparc only) For this test, I forced the sunffb/xaa patch to be installed unconditionally because at some point it will be part of the mainstream patch set. This is just a one-line change to the ebuild: This, for anyone interested:
- --- xorg-x11-6.8.1.903.ebuild- 2005-02-02 17:54:13.000000000 +0000

cd ${WORKDIR}
EPATCH_SUFFIX="patch" \
epatch ${PATCHDIR}
+ epatch $(FILESDIR)/092_Xserver_sunffb_xaa_extension.diff
cd ${S}
}Otherwise, everything seems fine. Except for poine -3.-, nothing really troubling. I haven't figured out what is going on with the GL include files yet, but the libraries seem to be OK.
Bookkeeping notes: ================= a. On both systems, I use x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre4
b. Use flags for the build/install:
[binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 (-3dfx) (-3dnow) +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server +hardened - -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse) - -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint +xv [1]
Total size of downloads: 0 kB Portage overlays: [1] /usr/local/portage
c. This is two installs from one build: First install was from emerge -buv xorg-x11; Second from 'emerge -kuv xorg-x11'
d. Both systems use sunffb graphics driver; one for Elite3d-m3, one for Creator3D, series 2 (ffb2+).
e. This note was written on U2-SMP (ffb2+) running xorg-x11-6.8.1.903 (modified by hand as suggested above).
Hope this helps, Regards,
