"r600" is the driver. Mesa needs that. "radeon" is more of a USE |
| 18 |
flag, needed by various ebuilds (for example "x11-base/xorg-drivers", |
| 19 |
"sys-power/pm-utils" and also "media-libs/mesa"). But it should be in |
| 20 |
VIDEO_CARDS, not in USE. |

Yes. Everyone who uses an AMD card should have "radeon" in VIDEO_CARDS, |
| 26 |
followed by either "r300" or "r600". Of course only when we're taking |
| 27 |
about the X.Org drivers. If you're going to use the Catalyst |
| 28 |
proprietary drivers, you should put "fglrx" in VIDEO_CARDS. |
