https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D255973 Bug ID: 255973 Summary: xf86-video-qxl deprecated , yet upstream source builds on freebsd 12.2 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: amd64 OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: drum@graphica.com.au BUG/REQUEST: The xf86-video-qxl X11 driver has been deprecated due to dependency on Pyth= on 2.7 See Fresh Ports: https://www.freshports.org/x11-drivers/xf86-video-qxl/ However on doing upstream source build on FreeBSD 12.2 this builds and runs without any source changes / patches and already supports Python 3.7 dependency. Could this port please be reinstated and updated with build against Python = 3.7 TESTING: X11 failed to start using: startx On FreeBSD 12.2 running as Ubuntu 21.04 KVM / QEMU quest did: 1. Package install of build tools 2. Clone of upstream xf86-video-qxl 3. Followed by configure, make and make install Simple configuration update to allow QEMU EvTouch USB Tablet to work with e= vdev & utouch package. Result was: X11 now starts on FreeBSD 12.2 when run as guest on Ubuntu 21.04 KVM / QEMU host Build details are: --- --- Install the build tools --- $ pkg install git $ pkg install autoconf $ pkg install automake $ pkg install xorg-macros $ pkg install m4 $ pkg install pkgconf $ pkg install libtool $ pkg install python37 --- --- Clone source and make ---=20 $ cd dev $ git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-qxl.git $ cd xf86-video-qxl $ ./autogen.sh $ make $ su $ make install NOTE: Other packages installed include: xorg evdev & utouch Configuration required for evdev/utouch: # cat /usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-qemu-input.conf=20 # # Overide libinput # Section "InputClass" Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall" MatchIsTouchscreen "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection More details and testing information is documented here:https://tips.graphica.com.au/freebsd-gnome-on-qemu/ X11 now starts via startx NOTE: gdm & gnome3 not installed as these package are also missing, to I on= ly tested as part as getting X11 running. SUMMARY: I have not done build of full "Spice" sub-system but certainly the xf86-video-qxl driver port should be readily updated to build without Python 2.7 dependency. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
