No, that doesn't seem the best way to do this. There are lots of users who stick with the base profile but do install X. They *need* to have dri enabled, unless they *really* know what they are doing. So, it either needs to stay in the base profile, as it has been up till now, or it needs to be set as default (IUSE="+dri") in the specific packages. -- Cheers, Ben | yngwin Gentoo developer Gentoo Qt project lead, Gentoo Wiki admin
