I've been running the x11 overlay for some time, and had been wondering how I was supposed to switch between gallium and classic for Radeon. I'd noticed eselect-mesa being merged, but hadn't made the connection. So thanks for the hint! Now I can try gallium on the r600 =:^) (and actually see that I had classic selected, something I thought was the case, but had no idea how to check, before). I figured it should be possible, but hadn't really looked into how, too deeply. FWIW, if there was anything about how that's supposed to work in the post-install messages or the like, I must have missed it, and I'm /usually/ pretty good about going thru those. So perhaps either adding such messages or making them a bit more visible might be useful. Now that I know about it, I'm going to try it. If I find any bugs, I'll be sure and file them. =:^) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master."
