Mine: |

|
| 20 |
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
"nv" is for the old, deprecated 2D-only driver that should not be used |
| 23 |
anymore. "vesa" is for the generic VESA driver. It's still good as an |
| 24 |
emergency backup. |

|

Note that after changing VIDEO_CARDS, it's best to "emerge -uDN world && |
| 27 |
emerge -a --depclean". |
