[gentoo-dev] new mp3blaster ebuild, and radeon/xfree4.1.0 problems

[Christopher Burgess]

Attached is a new ebuild file for mp3blaster 3.0 p8 (p7 is what's in the
tree currently). p8 includes support for the ogg vorbis format (yay!), so I
used the p7 ebuild as a base and modified it to have "vorbis" USE support.
Please check that I modified it correctly cos I'm knew to all this portage
stuff so I probably made a mistake somewhere! Also note however, that it if
you do NOT want ogg vorbis support you have to say
 "--with-oggvorbis=no" to the configure script because it's included by
default - it wasn't just me being extra!

Hope this is helpful.

On to my radeon/xfree86 4.1.0 problem, still no luck :-( Tried the
modifications I found in a post, which didn't work, I've tried the latest
CVS version of xfree86 with no luck, and I've even tried linux 2.4.10-pre1
which includes some updates to agpgart and drm - no success. So I'm still
running with "noaccel", which is awful because it doesn't just disable drm
(which I think is the actual cause) but every single accelerated feature.
This leaves my Athlon 1.3GHz DDR with Radeon 64MB running xfree86 like a 386
:-(
Anyway, I will get onto the DRI and xfree86 mailing lists about this, but in
the meantime I'd love to know if anyway has any similar problems (starting x
just locks the machine up and sends the monitor into DPMS power save mode).

Thanks

Chris

PS - Keep up the great work on gentoo!
