Bug 377349 – news item: media-libs/mesa-7.11 stabilization

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2011-08-01 23:24:50 UTC]

media-libs/mesa-7.11 changes the default r600 driver from classic to gallium for new installs. It might be a good idea to alert users of the change to let them switch the driver with eselect mesa after upgrade.

I suggest to inform users with a news item which is published before stabilization with
Display-If-Installed: <media-libs/mesa-7.11[video_cards_radeon]
