Yes. =A0Everyone who uses an AMD card should have "radeon" in VID= EO_CARDS,
followed by either "r300" or "r600". =A0Of course only = when we're taking
about the X.Org drivers. =A0If you're going to use the Catalyst
proprietary drivers, you should put "fglrx" in VIDEO_CARDS.

OK, I've added it and I'm remerging mesa to see what difference it = makes.

If mesa doesn't get automatically rebuilt (changing VIDEO_CARDS counts = as a USE flags change, so "emerge -uDN world" will pick it up), t= hen that means you're using a version of mesa that doesn't recogniz= e "r600".

I'm on mesa-9999 (one of the very few live ebuilds I use). =A0Now that = I checked this, it's the only version to recognize "r300" and= "r600" in VIDEO_CARDS. =A0However, that also means that future r= elease versions of mesa will also recognize them (the live ebuilds are alwa= ys a precursor of things to come.) =A0So adding "r300" or "r= 600" now doesn't hurt and will ensure you don't forget to do s= o later when mesa 7.12 (or 8.0?) comes out.
