I haven't looked there yet but I will. I'm on a mission here. For this machine I want emerge -e @system to install NOTHING having to do with X11. After I get to that point, depclean'ed, revdep'ed, eix-test-obsoleted, then I'm going back to installing X from scratch. I've just gotten past the emerge -e @system part now. I'm sort of surprised the openssh shows up as part of @system, or it's getting pulled in somehow, and its default flags are dragging in X. Sort of anal I suppose but these machine have been neglected for the last couple of years being stuck with old drivers & old kernels. If I'm going to try and get the newest ati-drivers working I feel like I sort of owe it to those developers (and myself) to have as few issues hanging out as possible. Thanks, Mark
