I'm in favour of rewording it. Actually, I'm not convinced that the frightening 'Warning' is really necessary. We could change 'Recommended' to something like: libvdpau-x.y (to build VDPAU drivers), elfutils-x.y AND llvm-x.y (both required for radeon 3D drivers) OR we could move elfutils and llvm to Required with a note (both are only needed for radeon 3D drivers) Perhaps we also need to draw people's attention to the explanation of --with-gallium-drivers= before we show the configure command ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
