[SOLVED] How do I stop emerging unwanted x11 video drivers?

CollieJim · 03-02-2011, 06:52 AM

When I emerge xorg-server it wants to pull in drivers for many different cards.

I have Intel video. I do not need a driver for ati, mach64, openchrome, or any of the other 10 or so drivers.

I'm trying to get my intel graphics working and am trying to follow the instructions in the Gentoo Linux Wiki at
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Intel_GMA

When I

Code:

emerge --newuse -avD world

I got an error saying that libdrm needed USE="video_cards_vmware"
I added that in /etc/portage/package.use and tried again.
I got an error saying that libdrm needed USE="video_cards_noveau".

I don't have these cards. How do I stop this nonsense?

TIA
Jim

By defining the driver(s) you want in /etc/make.conf

Code:

VIDEO_CARDS="intel"
