Following the discussion here, I've come to the conclusion that I made a bad call w/r to removing dri from default/linux after learning more about its effect. Summarizing, USE=dri * is the recommended default anytime * is needed in particular also in the embedded case (about as far from desktop as possible) Discussion here and on #g-dev presented two options, either * enabling dri in all relevant ebuilds as default-on, or * re-adding it to the profile. Chí-Thanh, who is the maintainer of the relevant packages, prefers a central setting. We've talked about this once more on IRC, I've reverted the profile commit and USE=dri is again enabled in default/linux/make.defaults. [We can still migrate to IUSE="+dri" in the ebuilds over time but that is a separate issue.] I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused. -- Andreas K.
