RE: [gentoo-user] Re: Can't emerge X11

Yes, there is a variable that you can set in /etc/make.conf

VIDEO_CARDS="sis"
ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1" ##nice one to set as well

To see a full list of the cards available for the variables run
#emerge --info

>From the output you can see which options are available. Once you set
these variables in make.conf portage will not build the other packages.
For example; I have VIDEO_CARDS="nv" so when I build X if does not
compile anything depending with sis or any of the other options
available for the VIDEO_CARDS option.
