I do have the VIDEO_CARDS="i810" in make.conf but I haven't rebuilt |
| 39 |
xorg-x11. Is that generally required when doing a kernel change these |
| 40 |
days? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
I'm pretty sure the driver I loaded was from the kernel, not from X11 |
| 43 |
so that could easily be the problem. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Let me work on it. |

Thanks, |
