Actually, as I ran across on my ~x86 systems, x11-base/xorg-drivers is |
| 26 |
now a separate ebuild from |
| 27 |
xorg-server, keeping the latter from trying to be rebuilt every time |
| 28 |
you change what drivers you want to have built... and looking at |
| 29 |
gentoo-portage.com, xorg-drivers-1.6 is stable on both amd64 and x86. |
| 30 |
It really is a much more sensible approach, and appears to work rather |
| 31 |
well. |
