All of the settings from a Gentoo package are supposed to work "out of the box". If the file has not been modified, then it is using the default setup from Gentoo. It should be able to continue using the default setup and work properly. If it does not, then it is a bug and should be treated as such. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Developer, Gentoo Linux Games Team Is your power animal a penguin? --=-IHUvKNbueNL2QxwzagSM Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/Xe5PkT4lNIS36YERApp5AKCoiRNoMQR6TBm/CaeJdzRtMoawKwCgoZiB 4V/rjXtCO/4X4yBWh8jMFho= =LF0f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-IHUvKNbueNL2QxwzagSM--
