x11 team plans to change the default VIDEO_CARDS on amd64/x86 per bug |
| 2 |
#561850. |
| 3 |
Due to the USE dependencies of Display-If-Installed, this item will only |
| 4 |
be displayed on amd64 and x86 systems that have not overridden |
| 5 |
VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf. Other architectures will retain their |
| 6 |
VIDEO_CARDS and we will leave it to the respective arch teams to adjust |
| 7 |
this as desired. |

The previous time I wanted to post a news item with USE dependencies, |
| 10 |
this was not possible because the Display-If-Installed dependency atom |
| 11 |
had to conform to EAPI 0. But now that all profiles are EAPI 5 this is |
| 12 |
ok I hope. |

In order to better reflect the graphics chipsets present on modern |
| 24 |
systems, the default VIDEO_CARDS setting has been changed to |
| 25 |
"amdgpu fbdev intel nouveau radeon radeonsi vesa" |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
If your graphics chipset requires a different driver, and you have not set |
| 28 |
VIDEO_CARDS in make.conf, it is advisable to do that now. |
