Description Russell Harmon 2007-08-05 07:07:17 UTC
The v86d application supports both full emulation, and partially hardware accelerated emulation for x86 machines. At the moment however, the ebuild always uses full emulation. I added support for the hardware accelerated mode when on x86. Patch and full ebuild are below

Comment 3 Russell Harmon 2007-08-05 07:37:27 UTC
Oh, I forgot something... Having x86 use x86emu removes the dependency of lrmi from v86d, so you can remove line 17 "x86? ( sys-libs/lrmi )". I'm not attaching a patch since the change is so trivial... just remove the line and fix the quotes.

x86emu = full emulation, lrmi = virtualization.  The ebuild uses lrmi on x86 and x86emu on other arches (amd64 at the moment).  Your patch forces full emulation on x86.  Any reason for this?

Ah, I got it backwards, my mistake.
