On monday May 30th the PaX Team sent me a testing patch for Xorg to make |
| 2 |
it fully pic compliant/text relocation free. |
| 3 |
I have been successfully using this patch for a few days now with my |
| 4 |
hardware. We would appreciate it if we could get a little more testing |
| 5 |
with this before passing it along to our Xorg maintainers and upstream. |

I tested with. |

+3dfx -3dnow +bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug +dlloader -dmx -doc |

-font-server +hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 +minimal |
| 13 |
+mmx -nls +opengl -pam -sdk +sse -static +truetype-fonts |
| 14 |

You can use this command to confirm that it's free of text relocations. |
| 18 |
scanelf -tq $(epm -q -l xorg-x11) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
# scanelf comes from app-misc/pax-utils |
| 21 |
# epm comes from app-portage/epm |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Make sure it runs like normal. |
| 24 |
Try glxgears before and after if your not using the +minimal USE flag |
| 25 |
and have GL support. |
