Michael, |
| 5 |
The second line of the upgrade guide says: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
X now no longer forces a double hidden build of media-libs/mesa. Mesa |
| 8 |
now builds the software renderer (swrast) and whatever hardware driver |
| 9 |
you've chosen with the VIDEO_CARDS variable. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Seems to me you're saying the new ebuild didn't build what you |
| 12 |
needed from mesa so I'd suggest filing a bug report on that one. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Unfortunately for me this hasn't solved the problem. After |
| 15 |
rebuilding mesa I did, 1 time out of 4 tries, manage to watch Live TV, |
| 16 |
but that event had bad video and as soon as I tried to change the |
| 17 |
channel X crashed again. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
From dmesg I see the following video related things. The last two |
| 20 |
lines are clearly errors. Everytime I try watching Live TV in Myth, |
| 21 |
after the crash I have two more of these in dmesg: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |

One Google thread I read says this is the X driver looking for gem |
| 38 |
support in my kernel. supposedly it's nothing to worry about but I |
| 39 |
never had these messages before the xorg-server upgrade. Possibly each |
| 40 |
two lines like this is just the driver starting back up again after |
| 41 |
the crash. Don't know... |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Unfortunately our machine here is still unusable... |
