My guess is: when all current portage builds have been updated to work with it. This is a work in progress. See: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112004 > It will be possible to enable direct rendering (for xcompmgr usage). My understanding is that this is all it is really useful for at this point. You will also need a very recent kernel. Unfortunately, my X600 PCIe chip isn't supported by the in-kernel driver, so I can't say more. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
