Hi Gentoo users, |

Many of you might have noticed that new file has shown up in |
| 4 |
/usr/portage/profiles called use.desc |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
This file contains a list of valid USE flags that you can add to or |
| 7 |
subtract from your personal USE list in /etc/make.conf |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
For the hardware flags, please note: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
There is a new use flag called "matrox" which replaces the old "mga" flag. |
| 12 |
The "3dfx" flag is important if you have a 3dfx card. Moreover if you |
| 13 |
have a Voodoo 3 (ONLY) then set the "voodoo3" flag as well. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Also note that the mhash, mcrypt, and gpg settings have all been replaced |
| 16 |
by a single "crypt" flag. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
For the framebuffer people, the flags "fbcon" (for framebuffer-console) |
| 19 |
and "directfb" provide that support where appropriate. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
The "avi" flag has been there for a while now, but now there is an "mpeg" |
| 22 |
flag as well. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Additionally, you'll notice your default flags now contain "gif", "jpeg" |
| 25 |
and "png" for supporting those image types. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
And, finally, "ogg" and "vorbis" flags have been combined into the single |
| 28 |
"oggvorbis" flag, but that has been in effect for a while. |
