Hi,

In case experienced this earlier...

I recompiled everything on a x86-64 machine after upgrading gcc to 4.7.2...

I was under X when doing this, so I didn't realize it broke, :-(

When finally getting to reboot after the whole process, including
fixing a couple of broken spells after gcc upgrade, I now realize I
can't start X.

X fails to allocate core devices (I'm guessing input devices), so X
ends up crashing.

This wasn't happening before, and I have no clue what can be causing
the issue.  I recompiled xorg-server, xorg-libs, all input and video
xorg devices, libdrm, mesalib, etc...  Nothing seems to help.
surprisingly enough to me, no single spell complains about anything,
everything casts without problems...

If someone went through this and solved me, please let me know.

Thanks,

Javier.

Bug #530: [xorg]  after compiling with gcc 4.7.2 on test, now xorg
refuses to start with core devices unable to be allocated.

Status: New

Category: X11
Target version:
Grimoire: Test


while starting X, I'm getting now:

Fatal server error:
Failed to allocate core devices

There's no more information available as to find out the reason for
not having input devices, and xorg crashing...

The Xorg version is test is pretty old, would there be an
incompatibility with gcc 4.7.2, which doesn't manifest on
compilation/installation?

BTW, I re-compiled everything after getting newer gcc, through "sorcery -r"...
