Hi! |

You can do this by: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
ebuild package.ebuild unpack |
| 22 |
apply your changes |
| 23 |
ebuild package.ebuild qmerge |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
If this is a patch that others would have need of (and it doesn't break |
| 26 |
anything for folks with other graphic cards) we should consider adding |
| 27 |
it by default. |
