Hi Ward. Thank you for your clarification.<br><br>Just to be sure I have undestood right.<br><br>The document says:<br><br>"<br>Since 22 Oct 2008, Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. The ebuild xf86-video-i810 no longer exists. To switch, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel in your /etc/make.conf. See VIDEO_CARDS for further instructions. <br> "<br><br>When it says "to switch set the VIDEO_CARDS", I thought it meant "since Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, if you want to switch to the old xf86-video-i810, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel ...."<br> <br>So, your answer made me a little bit confused about that 'if you want to switch'.<br><br>Maybe they mean 'if you want to switch to the new x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel'?<br>But, if "Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel", isn't that the default one?<br> <br>Surely I miss something...<br><br>Thank you very much,<br>Massimiliano<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Jun 20, 2009 at 11:02 AM, Ward Poelmans <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wpoely86@gmail.com">wpoely86@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 17:50, Massimiliano<br> <div class="im">Ziccardi<<a href="mailto:massimiliano.ziccardi@gmail.com">massimiliano.ziccardi@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br> ><br> </div><div class="im">> However (but maybe I've understood wrong), it says that I have to define<br> > that variable only if I want to use the old xf86-video-i810 name.
