I'm setting up a new system and I've noticed that xorg-x11 isn't emerged as a dependency of mozilla-firefox or xfce4, although neither of them will run without it. Can anyone tell me why this is?
This is because of the change to modular X. xorg-x11 is now just a meta-package that brings in all of the xorg packages. Other packages in the tree are *not* supposed to depend on xorg-x11, but only on those specific packages that they really require to run. If you want an X server locally, you need to also merge xorg-server. -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
