At spyderous's request, I have built X-modular in a chroot using the ebuild: emerge xorg-x11 (which for me is =x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc1) On a SB(2x900), this took about four hours and merged about 90 packages.
When I build X-modular with my own script, it builds about 139 packages, so it is instructive to see the differences: 1. For some reason, I left x11-apps/[setxkbmap, xrandr] and x11-libs[libXcomposite, libXxf86dga] out of my script. 2. The script installs lots more fonts (adobe, bitstream, font-bh, and so on). 3. The script installs freeglut. I don't remember why this was necessary, but something in my initial build needed freeglut instead of glut (even though they are the same thing, so far as I know). 4. The script installs several xorg-themes. 5. The script installs xmkmf & friends (imake and so on). 6. The script installs some extra applications; noteworthy ones are xconsole, xrdb, xset, along with a few others that matter to me. 7. The script installs a fairly complete set of drivers: input-[evdev, keyboard, mouse]; video-sunffb. 8. The script installs a few more x11-lib/ packages. libICE is probably the only notable one.
