That would definitely be cool. Along the same lines, would there be |
| 17 |
some way to compile these drivers outside of the xorg-x11 ebuild? The |
| 18 |
reason that I ask is USE="minimal" looks *perfect* for a GameCD, but |
| 19 |
without some of the drivers, it would probably not work out too well. |
| 20 |
Then again, I could just say that only cards that are supported via the |
| 21 |
"nvidia-*" and "ati-drivers" are supported, which would make things much |
| 22 |
easier... once ATI actually fixes their drivers to work with xorg 6.8.0, |
| 23 |
that is... *rolleyes* |
