But looking at the ChangeLog, I don't see any references to via driver changes in -r5 or -r6, so I wouldn't hold my breath that you will see a difference just from the minor bump in the ebuild version. However, looking through the ebuild, it looks like the 'via' driver will be disabled if you use the 'minimal' flag. So make sure you don't merge with that in any case! > One thing.. my Sempron surely supports mmx and sse.

In this case, /usr/portage/profiles/linux-default/use.mask masks out mmx, mmx2, sse, and others. It is then up to the profile-specific mask to unmask them if they will work there...and at present only the x86 profile does this, so if you are using the amd64 profile, these flags are simply disabled. Ebuilds can still add the appropriate CFLAGS or configure options to enable mmx/sse however. The xorg-x11 ebuild does this for the amd64 profile. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
