Today I ran emerge -auvtND world and portage wanted to do the following merge
| Code: |
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!

I accepted and within a few seconds I was staring at the following

I am a bit confused by this. If I disabled Direct Rendering Manager in the kernel, won't I lose accelerated 3D output?

You have a choice.
You can use the DRM/DRI drivers provided by the kernel, or the drivers provided by x11-base/x11-drm , but not both at the same time. |

Is there an advantage to either method?
If I want to use the drivers provided by the kernel, do I just unmerge x11-drm or is there some other step required as well? |

The drivers provided by the kernel are probably more up-to-date, and there is the convenience of not having to rebuild an external package every time you do a kernel update.
If your kernel is already configured with the drivers you want, then this should do the trick.
| Code: | | # emerge -C x11-drm |

Awesome, thanks!
This worked (I am now able to remerge xorg-server-1.3.0.0 w/out errors).
SOLVED! |
