Description Dirk Heinrichs 2006-04-18 00:47:40 UTC 
When I did a world update this morning, emerge wanted to install all of
xf86-video-*. I have VIDEO_CARDS="ati" in /etc/make.conf, but ati is not
listed anymore with x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1:

[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1  USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -evdev -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="dummy* -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -fbdev -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64% -mga -neomagic -nsc -nv -nvidia -r128% -radeon% -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" 0 kB

As seen above, my workaround to this was to add "dummy" to my VIDEO_CARDS so
that only this driver will be installed. However, the correct fix would be to
re-add ati to xorg-x11.

As Donnie Berkholz announced on the gentoo-dev mailing-list [1], VIDEO_CARDS="ati" has been splitted to VIDEO_CARDS="mach64 r128 radeon" in the modular X ebuilds. No idea if that also affects the monolith X.

I see. Yeah, didn't recognize "-mach64%", "-r128%" and "-radeon%". OK, I've
set VIDEO_CARDS=radeon" now.

well, at least http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/modular-x-howto.xml
this howto should be fixed (it provides an example of VIDEO_CARDS="ati"). many people with ait cards obviously use this example and gonna file more duplicate bugs
