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.
Funtoo currently has no plans to migrate or adopt systemd as it's default init system. This doe '''not''' prevent you from using systemd on your system. [https://coreos.com/ CoreOS], for example, is a systemd based system build on Gentoo.  


{{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.}}
For users not seeking to use systemd, that is, most Funtoo users, this page will serve both as the Funtoo development team's planning for the future, and information on how to avoid systemd in your system.

Funtoo currently has no plans to migrate or adopt systemd as it's default init system. This doe not prevent you from using systemd on your system. CoreOS, for example, is a systemd based system build on Gentoo.

For users not seeking to use systemd, that is, most Funtoo users, this page will serve both as the Funtoo development team's planning for the future, and information on how to avoid systemd in your system.
