I've done that, but it failed to rebuild my xorg-x11. I've still got
the version from last night, even though I've changed USE flags (via
setting VIDEO_CARDS) in /etc/make.conf.
/etc/make.conf has a later timestamp than /usr/bin/Xorg, yet this
doesn't trigger the -N flag. I'm misunderstanding something significant
here. The emerge man page is not explicit in how it determines "new"
USE flags.
If I wanted just to remove Xorg, together with the 188 other packages
installed with it, would it be correct to run these commands:
emerge --unmerge xorg-x11
emerge --depclean
?
