Then please test first whether is works.

ok.  this may come as a shock to you, but "Then please test first whether is works" is not very helpful to me.  please elaborate.

test whether what works?  i don't see an explanation for the "test-request" resolution in the bugzilla help page:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/page.cgi?id=fields.html#resolution

are you asking me to test whether the card works?  it does; i have it installed in my PC, and it is detected by the kernel (it is an old monster voodoo pass-through PCI 3dfx card.  don't laugh...).

are you asking me to test whether glide works?  as i said, i can't install it because of a missing keyword.  after some googling, it looks like this is the procedure i would have to follow:

do you know of a better document?  is it too much to ask for you to point me to it?  i really want to help, but i have literally no idea how to.

echo "media-libs/glide-v3 x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge glide-v3
