Thank you for your clarification. Just to be sure I have undestood right. The document says: " 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. " 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 ...." So, your answer made me a little bit confused about that 'if you want to switch'. Maybe they mean 'if you want to switch to the new x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel'? But, if "Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel", isn't that the default one? Surely I miss something...

Thank you for your clarification.

Just to be sure I have un= destood right.

The document says:

"
Since 22 Oct 2008= , Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-vide= o-intel. The ebuild xf86-video-i810 no longer exists. To switch, set the VI= DEO_CARDS variable to intel in your /etc/make.conf. See VIDEO_CARDS for fur= ther instructions.
"

When it says "to switch set the VIDEO_CARDS", I tho= ught it meant "since Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream namin= g x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, if you want to switch to the old xf86-video= -i810, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel ...."

So, your answer made me a little bit confused about that 'if you wa= nt to switch'.

Maybe they mean 'if you want to switch to the= new x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel'?
But, if "Gentoo switched a= ll ebuilds to the upstream naming: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel", isn&= #39;t that the default one?

Surely I miss something...

Thank you very much,

No, it says you should set that variable regardless of what driver yo= u use.
