[gentoo-user] Where can I find a list of supported VIDEO_CARD's?

[Wolfgang Liebich]

Hi,
I've set up a new computer w/ gentoo which uses a newer graphics card
than my old one (an Intel 945 on board card). I installed modular xorg,
and AFAIK the drivers which are getting installed are determined by the
VIDEO_CARDS flag in make.conf. Is there some list of supported values
for VIDEO_CARDS?
Ciao,
Wolfgang Liebich

Hi,

isn't there a list of useflags when you do 'emerge -pv xorg-x11' ?

regards,
Boris.

Boris has already answered how to get a list of valid values for VIDEO_CARDS. 
When in doubt about which driver to use, however, I believe 
xorg.freedesktop.org is the best resource:

http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver

VIDEO_CARDS="i810 vesa"

(I always add vesa as a fallback video driver. i810 is what you need).
