Re: [gentoo-user] Intel and Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)

[Time Lucky]

#emacs /etc/portage/make.conf
VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"

# emerge -av xorg-drivers mesa
# reboot
# eselect mesa list

915 (Intel 915, 945)
  [1]   classic
  [2]   gallium *
i965 (Intel GMA 965, G/Q3x, G/Q4x, HD)
r300 (Radeon R300-R500)
r600 (Radeon R600-R700, Evergreen, Northern Islands)
sw (Software renderer)
  [1]   classic
  [2]   gallium *

and gnome tells it is "Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe (LLVM 3.4, 256 bits)" again.

it seems "i915" is the very reason.
