VIDEO_CARDS="cirrus modesetting vesa", emerging world, and setting and |

running CIRRUS in the guest. I did that. With "-vga cirrus" I get a |

There is no documentation for "video_cards_modesetting" or |
| 23 |
"modesetting" flags. I filed bug report... |

...asking for it to be documented. "emerge -pv xorg-drivers" doesn't |
| 28 |
show it, and there's nothing in /usr/portage/profiles/*.desc |
| 29 |

File-attached is the X log. It complains about not finding the cirrus |
| 31 |
driver. But when I emerged xf86-video-cirrus, the log complained that |
| 32 |
the cirrus driver couldn't be loaded because it conflicted with a |
| 33 |
"kernel module" (actually built in). With "-vga std" X doesn't start up |
| 34 |
at all. |

| 36 |
Any suggestions for improvement? |
