VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" implies USE="video_cards_radeon" (a nifty Portage |
| 14 |
feature called USE_EXPAND). Depending on your xorg-x11 version and |
| 15 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
for ~arch (~x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1), xorg-server and mesa are the ones |
| 18 |
that use it. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
for arch (~x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0), it's the xorg-x11 ebuild itself that |
| 21 |
has it. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If you're running ~arch, installing 7.0 will still pull in the newer, |
| 24 |
~arch mesa and xorg-server, so all 3 ebuilds will have the flag. I'm |
| 25 |
not sure how well this configuration works. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
And when I said emerge -N xorg-x11 in my original mail, it should have |
| 28 |
been emerge -ND xorg-x11, so that xorg-server and mesa get updated with |
| 29 |
the new flag as well. On the other hand, if you already have it set, |
| 30 |
nothing will be rebuilt. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Have you checked that your xorg.conf is set to use that driver? Also, |
| 33 |
I've never owned a PCIe system, so I don't know what support for that is |
| 34 |
like. As always, YMMV ;) |
