Thanks. This is news to me. It is not mentioned here:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
and when I remerge media-libs/mesa-7.11 only radeon is shown under
VIDEO_CARDS:
[ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-7.11 USE="classic egl gallium llvm nptl
shared-glapi -bindist -debug -gbm -gles -motif -openvg -pax_kernel -pic (-
selinux) -shared-dricore" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon -intel -mach64 -mga -nouveau -
r128 -savage -sis -tdfx -via -vmware" 6,406 kB

OK, I've added it and I'm remerging mesa to see what difference it makes.
