Thanks. This is news to me. It is not mentioned here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml and when I remerge media-libs/mesa-7.11 only radeon is shown under VIDEO_CARDS: [ebuild R ] media-libs/mesa-7.11 USE="classic egl gallium llvm nptl shared-glapi -bindist -debug -gbm -gles -motif -openvg -pax_kernel -pic (- selinux) -shared-dricore" VIDEO_CARDS="radeon -intel -mach64 -mga -nouveau - r128 -savage -sis -tdfx -via -vmware" 6,406 kB > > Does this need adding to /etc/make.conf? > > Yes.
