I set my video card in /etc/make.conf as follows: VIDEO_CARDS="i810" What should I do now. Just "emerge --unmerge" on each unnecessary package ? Is it sufficient for emerge to NOT to install drivers on an upgrade xorg in the future. Thanks for answer. You alreads USE "modular X", if you have separate xf86-video-* packages installed. If you set VIDEO_CARDS to what you want and emerge -auDN world, so xorg-server pulls in the dependencies, you should be able to remove all unneeded packages with "emerge -a --depclean". Be careful though, that's not a toy. You might as well just "emerge --unmerge" the packages you don't want anymore. - Sascha
