They recommend for users of 2D acceleration to put this in xorg.conf to get rid of the error message: Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 Option "AIGLX" "false" <-------- If you want to try 3D accel at your own risk, they say, you need to run their latest development libraries from git. I don't do that, so I don't know if the gentoo packages include that stuff. Maybe someone else knows?
