Reopen with some Xorg... Reopening, but I don't understand what you're asking for. Xorg does not exist on any of the systems, so there isn't any Xorg configuration information for me to provide. Even so, the portage profile is forcing the Xorg flags to be set. The information that sets them is in the ChangeLog and in the profile that is available in the portage tree: /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86. Do you want me to post the profiles here as attachments? FWIW, everything is already documented in the forum post that is readable via the hyperlink that was already provided, but if you can't surf to the thread, just let me know and I will repost duplicative information here. Ooops, I meant emerge --info, not Xorg, so that we can see what profile you are using. Sorry :) Not that I would what you are requesting, if you don't want those, then set VIDEO_CARDS="" in make.conf; it's in parent profile on purpose, so that we don't have to duplicate the information in every single subprofile. Gentoo defaults for USE and VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES are made as sensible defaults for a reasonable desktop system, not as minimal defaults for a server. Note that things like gtk, X, qt, gnome and kde are in the default USE. If you don't want these, you need to set VIDEO_CARDS="" and INPUT_DEVICES="" (or whatever you want) in make.conf. Please don't say things are crammed down anyone's throats when they are absolutely trivial to change. |
