Yeah, it's still broken in 9999 but it is fixed in the 8.0.1 ebuild. Just have to wait for the X11 overlay to catch up.

/me just wondering whether "intel" is sufficient for VIDEO_CARDS of an Intel GM45 chip within a ThinkPad T400 for mesa-8.01 or should I add "i965" too ?

I'm installed 8.0.2 few days ago - but sometimes my KDE falls back from OpenGL to Xrender due to intel driver issues.

This appears to be a problem when you upgrade from mesa-7.11 with still classic drivers eselected to a version which has classic dropped (like -9999).

A workaround is to copy /usr/portage/media-libs/mesa/files/eselect-mesa.conf.7.11 to /usr/share/mesa/eselect-mesa.conf
