I'm trying to get rid of "old" x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel drivers and use "modesetting" build in to xorg. I only set one driver: VIDEO_CARDS="i965" and everything went smooth except libdrm: (x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.91:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with >=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.46[video_cards_intel,abi_x86_32(-),abi_x86_64(-)] required by (x11-libs/libva-intel-driver-1.7.3:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ x11-libs/libva-intel-driver pulled by libva which is pulled by global "vaapi" flag (mesa, vlc, etc). x11-libs/libva also requires video_cards_i965? ( x11-libs/libva-intel-driver ) So I was wondering, how to break this vicious circle? Can libdrm be compiled against a new modesetting driver instead? emerge --info Portage 2.3.40 (python 3.6.5-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.0/hardened, gcc-7.3.0, glibc-2.26-r7, 4.17.11-pentoo x86_64)

As you can see here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel#Feature_support You should specify VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" That will build only i965 support in Mesa. (I know this is confusing. Sorry for that. It's really kind of complex no matter how you slice it, and I haven't found a better way of doing this)

Yes, it is confusing because the "intel" flag in xorg-drivers has double meaning: - video-intel with i915 - ModeSetting with i965 I would expect a separate "modesetting" video mode or something like "i965_modesetting" which would active the right combination of flags. Well, you know it better, so I will leave it up to you.
