That package is kind of a wrapper around the driver packages, which are many. You install xorg-drivers as a dependency of xorg-server, and depending on your VIDEO_CARDS settings in make.conf the relevant driver packages are also pushed as dependencies into your system. > > Presumably I can configure these drivers somewhere, perhaps in > ~/.xinitrc? =C2=A0Is there any documentation for this? > Let us know what your driver is so we can give more concrete details. But video drivers, just like any other thing that's part of X, can be configured at /etc/X11/xorg.conf or, more recently, in separate files under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. Some drivers (like, again, the nvidia binary one) do ship tools that can help you configure the driver by writing to these files via a GUI frontend. The concrete options that you can put into this files depend on the concrete driver. For example, the man page for my driver (xf86-video-ati) can be seen by using # man radeon There I can see all the available options. If you let us know what driver are you using, then maybe someone who's familiar with your driver can provide you with more accurate help. --=20 Jes=C3=BAs Guerrero Botella
