I checked /var/log/portage/elog after building xorg-server. It
complains...

I do remember having seen the i915 option previously. Is this
something new? This is the 3.0.6 kernel. I followed the instructions
at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml as closely as possible.
Note that...
"<*> Framebuffer Console Support" is actually mandatory enabled
"-*- Framebuffer Console support".

Hello,
"Intel 8xx/9xx/G3x/G4x/HD Graphics" is actually the name of the key
CONFIG_DRM_I915. It's the same option. According to
http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/DRM_I915.html the name was changed
in kernel 2.6.39.
Kind regards
Hinnerk

Thank you for the info. X works OK, with no error messages. I wanted
to confirm that I've set it up correctly.
