Arch Linux

Readded configure patch. It's disabled in PKGBUILD.

"Did you remove the patch?"
Yes, I did.

"I suffer:
configure:1583: error: possibly undefined macro: _m4_text_wrap_word"
That's odd because developers have resovle this issue. Of course you can apply it by uncommenting patch line in PKGBUILD. Link to the patch: http://kotuha.com/file/ENXlC-configure.html

Did you remove the patch? I suffer:

Thanks

When building

Derkosak, You should post this problem on forum with a complete listing of "Xorg.log.old" and "xorg.conf". Also output of "xvinfo" and "lsmod | grep drm" might be helpful.

When using this driver and the drm-radeon-module-git-r6xx-r7xx 20090502-1, I get the following message in Xorg.0.log:
(EE) RADEONHD(0): RHDDRIVersionCheck: drmOpen("radeon", "pci:0000:01:00.0") failed.

How can I fix it?
Also, when I run "glxinfo | grep direct" it says "Direct Rendering: yes" but I can't enable desktop effects on KDE4. Any clues?
Thanks!

Added 'xorg-util-macros' to makedepens.

Please add to dependencies "xorg-util-macros".

Without it:
$ yaourt -S xf86-video-radeonhd-git
....

Error: Makepkg was unable to build xf86-video-radeonhd-git package.

P.S. Sorry for my english

Fixed again ;)

Hello,

Please don't use git-pull but "git pull".

git-* programs are deprecated and not even available with last version of git in Arch !

Much better :)

OK. Fixed.

Please update the depends and makedepends according to the stable version of radeonHD in the Arch repo and then add a variable that will provide the latest version of radeonHD in its GIT state (like gitversion=<version> and then provides=('xf86-video-radeonhd=$gitversion'))

Adopted and updated.

can someone add mesa, xf86driproto and glproto as makedepends? they are needed for DRI compilation and looking at the forums reports are missed by a lot of people. i'm not sure what the procedure for orphaned packages is, should someone adopt it first?

@roberth: drm in master is supposedly not working yet for these cards, you will need the drm modules from the r6xx-r7xx branch.

How are drm for the new supported stuff that has lately been merged to master?

Please consider adding pkgconfig to the "makedepends" list. On my system it didn't compile without it.
Also maybe add "conflicts=('xf86-video-radeonhd')" and "replaces=('xf86-video-radeonhd')".

to the one who flagged it out of date:
this package always pulls the newest version from the git repository.

i just tested it and it still works, so this package is not out of date.

- added "xorg-util-macros" to makedepends
- slightly changed radeonhd.install

thx tardo.
changes applied ;)

- install the license in /usr/share/licenses/$pkgname
- use options=('!libtool') instead of rm -rf .la
- delete the build directory when you're done.

fixed some typos in the install file

updated to use seperate build directory.
code is taken from jonathan's avivo package.

This package gets updated from time to time as enough code changes are done to the code.
