remi! You broke my xorg. Easily fixed by installing x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel but I would expect to continue on working until I updated. Odd, but just letting you know in case you get some bug reports.

I have moved version 1.7.4 to my private overlay and unmasked it again. The reason is that all later drivers are just terribly slow on my 945 card.

@atomopawn, please open a bug in Gentoo's bugzilla. My blog is not an official support channel :)

Thanks

VIDEO_CARDS goes in make.conf, not xorg.conf. =)

Thanks for updating these, Remi!

Quick question, since you seem to know some things about the intel drivers... On my wife's brand new laptop (which has a 965 chipset), the latest intel drivers break horribly -- X windows is nothing but a white screen. It only affects the LVDS screen, not any external monitors that get plugged in. The vesa driver works fine and there are no error messages in Xorg.0.log.

Any thoughts on how I might isolate the problem?
