The purpose of this page is to give you streamlined steps for setting up your video hardware for X, and desktop environments such as GNOME.

{{Important|Editors: OK, I've decided to change the plans for this page. This is going to be a page similar to [[Subarches]]. The idea is to help people to identify their hardware and guide them toward the correct driver for their chipset. The focus will be primarily on defining the types of hardware that are supported, what products they appear in, and how to know if you have this hardware, and also give people good general overview of options available to them (free vs. proprietary, etc.) Other important topics that apply to all drivers, like <code>eselect opengl</code> should be covered as well. This will then serve as the meta-page for Video support, with individual ebuild pages holding the details for each driver.}}

First determine which video card you have and which driver it requires.
I like the {{f|/etc/make.conf}} file, which can also be referred to as {{f|/etc/portage/make.conf}}. It is a groovy file. Another cool file is {{f|/etc/fstab}}.


<console>###i## lspci -nn | grep -i vga</console>
=== make.conf mentions ===


to see what your system is using:
{{#ask: [[Mentions file::make.conf]]
<console>###i## lspci -k</console>
| format=category
}}


Once hardware is determined use the following sections to add or edit the <code>VIDEO_CARDS</code> global variable in <code>/etc/[[make.conf]]</code>.  For more granular details including kernel configurations, frame buffer settings, and xorg configurations: see specific package page links.

Once your video cards variables are set in [[make.conf]], and kernel configurations are arranged merge changes into your system:

I like the /etc/make.conf file, which can also be referred to as /etc/portage/make.conf. It is a groovy file. Another cool file is /etc/fstab.
