It should not build anything not related to your video card. Make sure |
| 2 |
the variables are set correctly. Then, run emerge --info and see if that |
| 3 |
setting has taken effect. If it has not then run #source /etc/make.conf. |
| 4 |
then check emerge --info and see if sis is the value set for |
| 5 |
VIDEO_CARDS. |

I guess I did something wrong because it still wanted to build all the |
| 20 |
card types. |

I have looked at this now, and will tinker more with it later, but on a |
| 61 |
different machine. One that does not have to grind away for several |
| 62 |
hours before telling me that it failed. :-) The machine in question is |
| 63 |
mostly used as a gateway and a little bit of development, so I am just |
| 64 |
removing X from it until I can learn more. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Thanks for trying. |
