try adding |
| 50 |
'Section "DRI" |
| 51 |
mode 0660 |
| 52 |
Group "video" |
| 53 |
endsection' |
| 54 |
to your xorg.conf |
| 55 |
and no those are not the orginal packages, Xorg decided to move to a more |
| 56 |
flexable develepment model(imho) that splits alot of the parts up, if you |
| 57 |
look the driver for the i915 card will be x11-drivers/XF86-video-i810, it |
| 58 |
was done this way so things could be updated faster. instead of 6 months for |
| 59 |
a new driver it might be a week |
