| Video is set up by setting global variables in [[make.conf]] & portage takes care of the rest.
| |
| | |
| == Determine Hardware ==
| |
| first determine which video card you have and which driver it requires.
| |
| | |
| <console>###i## lspci -k</console> | |
| | |
| === Intel ===
| |
| Add or Edit the VIDEO_CARDS global variable in /etc/portage/make.conf to the value in the following table appropriate for the Intel graphics hardware.
| |
| * '''NEED TABLE''': available drivers, hardware gen, VIDEO_CARDS variable
| |
| gen 1&2:
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="intel"
| |
| }} | |
| gen 3
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="intel i915"
| |
| }}
| |
| gen 4+
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965"
| |
| }} | |
| * custom kernel menuconfig settings
| |
| | |
| === AMD/ATI === | |
| Users can choose between Open (radeon) and Closed-Source (fglrx) video drivers. Add or Edit the VIDEO_CARDS global variable in /etc/portage/make.conf to the value in the following table appropriate for the AMD/ATI graphics hardware.
| |
| * '''NEED TABLE''': available drivers, hardware gen, required VIDEO_CARDS variable
| |
| Open source drivers:
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="radeon"
| |
| }} | |
| | |

| |
| }}
| |
| | |
| * custom kernel menuconfig settings
| |
| | |
| === Nvidia ===
| |
| Users can choose between Open (nouveau) and Closed-Source (nvidia) video drivers. Add or Edit the VIDEO_CARDS global variable in /etc/portage/make.conf to the value in the following table appropriate for the Nvidia graphics hardware.
| |
| * '''NEED TABLE''': nouveau + nvidia-drivers versions, hardware gen, required VIDEO_CARDS variable
| |
| Open source drivers:
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="nouveau"
| |
| }} | |
| Closed source [[Package:NVIDIA_Linux_Display_Drivers | drivers]]:
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
| |
| }} | |
| * custom kernel menuconfig settings
| |
| different settings for nouveau and nvidia
| |
| | |
| === Other === | |
| ==== Multiple Cards (Hybrid Graphics) ====
| |
| recommended make.conf VIDEO_CARDS
| |
| Hybrid intel/ati:
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="fglrx intel"
| |
| }} | |
| | |
| ==== Virtual Machine Guests ==== | |
| (details?)
| |
| These settings are used by Parallels VM's and presumably others
| |
| {{file|name=/etc/portage/make.conf|lang=|desc=set video global variable|body= | |
| VIDEO_CARDS="vesa vga"
| |
| }} | |
