Hi Ward. Thank you for your clarification. |

Just to be sure I have undestood right. |

The document says: |

" |

Since 22 Oct 2008, Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: |
9 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel. The ebuild xf86-video-i810 no longer exists. |
10 |
To switch, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel in your /etc/make.conf. See |
11 |
VIDEO_CARDS for further instructions. |
12 |
" |
13 |
|
14 |
When it says "to switch set the VIDEO_CARDS", I thought it meant "since |
15 |
Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming |
16 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel, if you want to switch to the old |
17 |
xf86-video-i810, set the VIDEO_CARDS variable to intel ...." |
18 |
|
19 |
So, your answer made me a little bit confused about that 'if you want to |
20 |
switch'. |
21 |
|
22 |
Maybe they mean 'if you want to switch to the new |
23 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel'? |
24 |
But, if "Gentoo switched all ebuilds to the upstream naming: |
25 |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel", isn't that the default one? |
26 |
|
27 |
Surely I miss something... |

Thank you very much, |
