I was very sure that I had tested this twice with VIDEO_CARDS="ati". Both times the ati flag didn't get enabled i.e. emerge -vp x11-drm showed: [ebuild R ] x11-base/x11-drm-20051223 VIDEO_CARDS="-ati -i810 -mga -nv -savage -sis -tdfx -via" 0 kB This of course didn't result in the radeon driver being built. It seems, however, that my memory must be failing (can't find any other explanation) since when I remove the use flag now and set VIDEO_CARDS="ati" the flag does get enabled and the radeon module built. I really don't understand this - was so sure... So obviously there is no bug other than me.. ;) > What version of portage are you using that this isn't working for > you? I have been using portage 2.1_pre4-r1 all along. Having portage sending mails to me is invaluable. :) -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
