eselect news list This will report back any news items. On my system, the following is returned: eselect news list Unread news items: (none found) Read news items: 2009-04-06-x_server-1_5 Migration to X.org Server 1.5 Then, on my system I do: eselect news read 2009-04-06-x_server-1_5 The following is returned: penguinchick ~ # eselect news read 2009-04-06-x_server-1_5 2009-04-06-x_server-1_5 Title Migration to X.org Server 1.5 Author Remi Cardona <r...@gentoo.org> Author Christian Faulhammer <fa...@gentoo.org> Posted 2009-04-06 Revision 1 A lot of changes regarding device recognition and use by the X server have been introduced in the 1.5 update. As that version is going stable on all architectures, users should read the upgrade guide [0] before actually updating the package.
