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=20 VIDEO_CARDS: [ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-7.11 USE=3D"classic egl gallium llvm nptl= =20 shared-glapi -bindist -debug -gbm -gles -motif -openvg -pax_kernel -pic (- selinux) -shared-dricore" VIDEO_CARDS=3D"radeon -intel -mach64 -mga -nouvea= u - r128 -savage -sis -tdfx -via -vmware" 6,406 kB > > Does this need adding to /etc/make.conf? >=20 > Yes.

OK, I've added it and I'm remerging mesa to see what difference it makes. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1424380.JI7NaPFfAV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk6l33kACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbR9wCeIQckijbmfLYSAeMeDI4UjA6e lgwAn1HcMJJHPOCjFqsKmSBW9iVVYxMu =ScDF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1424380.JI7NaPFfAV--
