Read it carefully. It says If you specify i915 then use xf86-video-intel and use xf86-video-intel if you did not specify i965 > > > $ grep VIDEO_CARDS /etc/portage/make.conf > VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965" You specified i965, so per the above xf86-video-intel will go away > > > $ LC_ALL=C eix xorg-drivers > [I] x11-base/xorg-drivers > Available versions: 1.12 1.15 1.18-r1 1.19 **9999 > Installed versions: 1.19(19:52:33 03/10/17)(INPUT_DEVICES="evdev > synaptics -acecad ..."

"intel" will suffice. Do you have xorg-server built with USE=glamor ? -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
