Would have been nice if Portage had informed us of this. I went trough this too (I had to run X -configure to see it changed the driver). However, the intel driver does not seem to work that well, glxgears won't start for me any longer (Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual). Not that I would really need that one, nor any other GL application, it just bothers me to have something not working ;-). Have you seen this error too? Thank you -- I have a theory that it's impossible to prove anything, but I can't prove it. Michal 'vorner' Vaner pgpETp7EsarWL.pgp Description: PGP signature

Would have been nice if Portage had informed us of this. Yeah, had that too and it's a bit confusing that the i810 driver (which is a link to intel, AFAIK) loads but does not detect anything. Since the driver was renamed from i810 to intel in upstream, I vote for Gentoo to rename the package as well, from xf86-video-i810 to xf86-video-intel. - Sascha signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

Not this particular one, but I still get an error with the newest driver: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ glxgears Failed to initialize TTM buffer manager.

The FPS are still in regression compared to what I had around a year ago, 1200+ FPS. Regards, Liviu
