16 I was very sure that I had tested this twice with VIDEO_CARDS="ati". Both
17 times the ati flag didn't get enabled i.e. emerge -vp x11-drm showed:
18
19 [ebuild R ] x11-base/x11-drm-20051223 VIDEO_CARDS="-ati -i810 -mga -nv
20 -savage -sis -tdfx -via" 0 kB
21
22 This of course didn't result in the radeon driver being built. It seems,
23 however, that my memory must be failing (can't find any other explanation)
24 since when I remove the use flag now and set VIDEO_CARDS="ati" the flag does
25 get enabled and the radeon module built. I really don't understand this - was
26 so sure...

28 So obviously there is no bug other than me.. ;)

33 I have been using portage 2.1_pre4-r1 all along. Having portage sending mails
34 to me is invaluable. :)
