Short version: replaces Xorg's own elfloader with an interface to libdl (basically); Depends on your need of binary modules; currently not (at least, that's currently the case for the nvidia drivers). Long, and more useful answer can be found on <http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/hardenedxorg.xml>, though the hardened stuff won't apply.. unless your using hardened ;-) Best, Elfyn -- Elfyn McBratney beu on irc.freenode.net/savannah.[non]gnu.org PGP Key ID: 0x456548B4 PGP Key Fingerprint: 29D5 91BB 8748 7CC9 650F 31FE 6888 0C2A 4565 48B4
