Description Evan Teran 2003-11-13 13:50:34 UTC

I was just thinking, that it would be very nice (cut down on used space and
compile time) if we could somehow specify a list of video drivers to be compiled
with the xfree86 ebuild.  For example, alsa-driver looks at the environment
variable ALSA_CARDS so, I can just put in my make.conf ALSA_CARDS="dummy
intel8x0" and it only builds those two.

I recognize that with alsa it is somthing implemented by the alsa people, but
still it would be very nice to have a time saver like this for xfree86 too.
