Converting my last FC machine to Gentoo since it didn't survive an FC2
to FC4 upgrade.

Questions:

1) Is the VIDEO_CARDS= setting in /etc/make.conf still considered the
right way to configure a new machine for a specific card?

2) If the answer to #1 is yes then what's the right setting for a 3D
Rage Pro? (I.e. - where's the list of legal names?)

3) If no, then what's the right way to do this these days?

Thanks,
Mark


It looks like the gentoo ati faq might be helpful:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ati-faq.xml

It mentions an x11-drm package that can be used to build kernel DRI modules.  
Inside the ebuild there is a list:

IUSE_VIDEO_CARDS="3dfx ffb i810 i830 i915 mach64 matrox rage128 radeon savage sis 
via"

I'm not sure if any of those will work for you but I'm sure one of the ati 
gurus will be along in a moment to help you.
