I posted some output in anther thread concerning update world (Subject: How to fix a hefty (emerge) blocking problem)
Someone noticed I had too many x11 drivers installed and suggested I set the /etc/make.conf VIDEO_CARDS variable (which I never have set before) I figured out I have an nvidia card so set VIDEO_CARDS="nv" Now with my emerge -vuDN @system @world complete I'm unable to start X. (More on that later in a separate thread) But a little peek with eix -Ic |grep x11-drivers I still see a hefty mess of them: [I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/13/08): Generic Linux input driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Keyboard input driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/29/08): X.Org driver for mouse input devices [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-apm ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/29/08): Alliance ProMotion video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-ark ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): X.Org driver for ark cards [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-chips ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Chips and Technologies video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-cirrus ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Cirrus Logic video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-dummy ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): X.Org driver for dummy cards [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): video driver for framebuffer device [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-glint ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): GLINT/Permedia video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-i740 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Intel i740 video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-mach64 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): ATI Mach64 video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-mga ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Matrox video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-neomagic ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Neomagic video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/13/08): Nvidia video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-rendition ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Rendition video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-s3 ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): X.Org driver for s3 cards [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-s3virge ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): S3 ViRGE video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-savage ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): S3 Savage video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-siliconmotion ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Silicon Motion video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-tdfx ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/29/08): 3Dfx video driver [U] x11-drivers/xf86-video-tga ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/29/08 -> (~)1.2.0): X.Org driver for tga cards [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-trident ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Trident video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-tseng ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Tseng Labs video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-v4l ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): video4linux driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Generic VESA video driver [I] x11-drivers/xf86-video-voodoo ([EMAIL PROTECTED]/12/08): Voodoo video driver Whats all that for?
