[gentoo-user] xorg 7.0 to 7.1 -- is this a problem

[Adrian <linuxgn2@204eastsouth.com>]

Greetings all;

I was intending to upgrade xorg 7.0 to 7.1, before doing so I noticed
something.  I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, so I wanted to
ask before I mess up my system.

First, take a look when I do a pretend to see what would happen when
emerging 7.0, which is currently installed:

Note that it will use the flags/devices for keyboard, mouse, fbdev i810
vesa vga.  These are indicated in make.conf and correct.

Now, I pretend for 7.1

Here, the xorg-x11-7.1 does not indicate any of these flags will be
used.  Is this the correct behaviour?  Or is something going on?

Thank you very much.
Adrian
