1 Hi all,
2 I'm going to upgrade xorg. Following the "Migrating to Modular X HOWTO"
3 I ran:
4
5 grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf and the output was:
6
7 Driver "kbd"
8 Driver "mouse"
9 Driver "vga"
10 Driver "nv"
11
12 Then I ran also
13 emerge --verbose --pretend xorg-x11
14 Here is part of the output:
15
16
17 [ebuild N ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0 USE="dri ipv6 nptl sdl
18 xorg (-3dfx) -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal -xprint"
19 INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron
20 -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -evdev -fpit -hyperpen
21 -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount
22 -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom"
23 VIDEO_CARDS="apm ark chips cirrus cyrix dummy fbdev glint i128 i810
24 mach64 mga neomagic nv r128 radeon rendition s3 s3virge savage
25 siliconmotion sis sisusb tdfx tga trident tseng v4l vesa vga via vmware
26 voodoo -epson -fglrx (-i740) (-impact) (-imstt) (-newport) (-nsc)
27 -nvidia (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo)
28 (-suntcx)" 5,829 kB
29
30 So I should set INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" and VIDEO_CARDS="nv vga
31 fbdev" in my make.conf.
32
33 But, what is the meaning of the minus sign preceding any of the video
34 card names? And the ones between parentheses?
35
36 Stupid question? ;-(
37
38 Thank you.
