It's been a tough day, and I appreciate you pointing this out to me. I ran into another snag, this time with x11-libs/libXext-1.0.4 - it would not compile with x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.5. But downgrading to x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.4 fixed that! When I saw that one fail, I thought to myself "this is gonna be a long night"... ha. But happily, everything compiled in the end, and xorg-x11 is now installed. I will see the state of things tomorrow when I get into the office.

Keith - thanks for the thoughts. As I reiterated before, I am not arguing that Mathematica isn't the source of the problem. Other than Mathematica crashing X, I had no other problems with X since the upgrade to libxcb-1.4 and xorg-server-1.6. So my action to downgrade and revert to the previous configuration shouldn't be taken to mean that the upgrade was crappy - it just doesn't seem to agree with the proprietary software I am currently running. I would much rather upgrade Mathematica, but that is not an option for me at this time. Thankfully, I was able to remove X and reinstall it based on the previous versions of the libraries I don't yet know whether this resolved my Mathematica issue - I will test tomorrow. But I will investigate the install script for Mathematica and see what it does. Denis

Just FYI, I went through the libxcb upgrade procedure, am running the libxcb 1.4 and latest X server, etc. and everything is working just fine. On three different machines. The close-source binaries like Mathematica are usually the problem. They almost always lag behind the current open-source offering and only support older, stable versions of libraries. So if you really want to run that I would recommend that you stick with stable arch and re-compile and/or re-install your base system. You have /home on a separate partition, right? Another possibility is that these packages usually ship with a set of libraries that the pre-load using a launcher shell script. Does it install any copies of system libraries? An alternative, albeit a heavyweight one, is to look at Mathematica's supported OS/distro list and run a virtual machine with one of those in it. You can use gentoo as your host OS. -- Keith Dart -- -- Keith Dart ===

OK, so someone using Gentoo sez: "Ultimately, you need to check the version of xproto that you have installed.

Now I run into a bit of a problem: libX11-1.1.5 fails when compiled :-( I attached a build.log for this package... Can anyone tell me if this is fixable? Maybe some other package needs to be downgraded? The only reason why I am using 1.1.5 version is because libX11-1.2.* requires libxcb-1.2 and greater and I only have 1.1.90 as the highest before 1.4 (can I tweak the ebuild for libX11-1.2 and put xcb 1.1.90 instead of 1.2 limitation?)... I would try libX11-1.1.4, but xorg-server-1.5.3 requires 1.1.5 and above... maybe I could tweak this ebuild to accept 1.1.4 and see if that compiles? Any constructive thoughts appreciated! :-)
Re: how to force libxcb version below 1.4 when re-installing X (was: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?)
Sorry, I don't tinker around with gentoo much, mostly just user :-) I got around this block so far: also masked >=x11-libs/libXext-1.0.5, >=x11-libs/libX11-1.2, in addition to libxcb 1.4. Reading ebuilds really helps! ha.
how to force libxcb version below 1.4 when re-installing X (was: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?)
I cleared everything X related from my box, and it is still alive and well :-) Now, as I was explaining in my previous thread, I would like to re-install X and all related apps, but forcing the older libxcb version. After I upgraded to libxcb 1.4 a few days ago, my X was unstable and kept crashing while scrolling in Mathematica, so I wanted to clear everything X out, start from scratch, and revert to my original X configuration. Here is the new problem. In my package.mask, I specify: >=x11-libs/libxcb-1.4 >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.6 >=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4 My USE is now: "alsa ao bash-completion bzip2 cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cpudetection ieee1394 lame ldap libwww mad mmx mmxext mp3 openal oss ppds rtc smp spell sse sse2 tta usb wavpack winbind xml -dri -isdnlog -pppd" So, I put in the X USE flag and attempt emerge -NDavu xorg-x11 and get !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-libs/libxcb-1.2" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/libxcb-1.4-r1 (masked by: package.mask) (dependency required by "x11-libs/libX11-1.2.2" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "x11-libs/libXext-1.0.5" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "x11-libs/libXv-1.0.4" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "x11-base/xorg-x11-7.2" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "xorg-x11" [argument]) What gives? Am I doing something stupid (well, aside from trying to downgrade...), or is there a way for me to fix this by some keywording trickery or something to that effect? Help, please :-)
Re: [gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
I've been having some issues myself (mythtv manages to mess up my screen
royally, I need to switch to a text virtual console and back to X to
make the screen legible after viewing a TV-recording in myth). I just
noticed that the version of the headers for xcb do not match the version
on libxcb itself. Could this be the cause of my (and Daves) problems? I
have libxcb 1.4, but headers version 1.5, no 1.4 available for the
headers. (running a new sync of my portage tree now, just in case I've
missed something)

Just mask the current version and do a emerge -uvDNa world. You may have to mask a couple more packages but the error will tell you which ones they are. I was able to just mask the one tho. If you are using hal, you may have to reemerge the mouse and keyboard drivers. I find them using this: equery list xf86-input That should list the drivers that need to be reemerged. I have three.

I am OK with that. But X crashing from my use of Mathematica is absolutely unacceptable - this is what I need for my work. Before I upgraded to xorg-1.6 and libxcb-1.4, this *never* happened, not once, *in several years*, under extensive use, and I have been using the same Mathematica version all this time, 5.2. So if downgrading X and libxcb is what I have to do to restore reliable operation of my machine with Mathematica, then this is what I am doing next. Let me ask this next: is the downgrade of libxcb and xorg-server possible?

I think it's a scroll-bar that triggers it. If I drag a scrollbar down with my mouse and then run it back up, there is a delayed response (especially in Acrobat Reader), and when I do that in Mathematica 5.2, that simply crashes X. Now I am kind of regretting that I upgraded to xorg-server-1.6... I was very happy with 1.5 and before. Sigh. May this be a library issue? Gtk?

I see. Well, I am running nvidia-drivers-180.60, and versions 185 and 190 are masked by ~x86. Same for the xorg-server-1.6.4. So the only thing I could do really is to update the kernel... But xorg-server-1.5 was perfectly stable for me, so I don't see how kernel upgrade would be helpful here, given that nvidia-drivers aren't in the kernel.

[gentoo-user] my xorg-server 1.6 seems a bit unstable - what am I doing wrong?
I am running the xorg-server-1.6, to which I just upgraded, and kernel 2.6.27-gentoo-r8, and I am having an issue with the server crashing whenever I try to drag the scroll bar within Mathematica - which never happened to me before with previous xorg-servers, and I use Mathematica extensively. So I just wanted to ask some questions to see if any of the warnings and errors I am seeing in the log may actually cause X to be unstable... 1. In the log (see below), Xorg shows an error trying to load dri... Since I have nvidia and glx and don't have dri, I don't have the dri drivers, so how can I stop Xorg from trying to load dri/dri2? 2. I get a warning: (--) PCI:*(0:1:0:0) 10de:01d1:: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 LE] rev 161, Mem @ 0x9100/16777216, 0x8000/268435456, 0x9000/16777216 (WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory) (II) No APM support in BIOS or kernel Will this make X unstable in any way? 3. Are the freetype and type1 modules now incorporated into X or phased out?
