Hi,

I've been using the DRM 3d drivers with gentoo for a long time now, but the newest version in the portage tree won't compile, due to new, different config needs and I don't understand them:

Code:

!!! ERROR: x11-base/xfree-drm-4.3.0-r6 failed.
!!! Function src_unpack, Line 94, Exitcode 0
!!! Please set at least one video card in VIDEO_CARDS. USE is deprecated. Possible VIDEO_CARDS values are matrox, 3dfx, rage128, radeon, sis, i810, i830, and gamma.


Where is this VIDEO_CARDS variable supposed to be set?

thanks!!

Ok .. I'll add "radeon" to the USE variables and see if that works.

If anyone tried this and it didn't work (like me)
I did the the following and it worked for me

I added a line
Code:
VIDEO_CARDS="i810"

to my make.conf (use your card here [i.e "radeon"] instead, of course)
then I
Code:
emerge --resume xfree-drm

and that fixed me right up

hope that helps someone
