Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-07-02 06:33:09 UTC 
Not using a dri driver, the dependency is a bit pointless. Please change it to dri? ( x11-apps/xdriinfo ). 

Adding the dri and dlloader use flags to make.defaults would be sensible, btw..

default-linux/make.defaults:

# 2006/03/07 - Donnie Berkholz <spyderous@gentoo.org>
# Modular X: Support direct rendering by default
USE="${USE} dri"

# 2006/07/01 - Donnie Berkholz <spyderous@gentoo.org>
# X: Build dlloader-using drivers, since >=6.9 uses dlloader, not elfloader
USE="${USE} dlloader"
