[gentoo-user] get rid of xf86-video-* drivers
Hello I would like to get rid of all unnecessary x11-drivers/xf86-video-* packages. I do NOT want to migrate to Modular X. I set my video card in /etc/make.conf as follows: VIDEO_CARDS=i810 What should I do now. Just emerge --unmerge on each unnecessary package ? Is it sufficient for emerge to NOT to install drivers on an upgrade xorg in the future. Thanks for answer.

Please, disable HTML in your client or at least tell it to send a plain text version as well. I see hardly readable raw HTML code in mutt. -Erik -- hackerkey://v4sw5hw2ln3pr5ck0ma2u7LwXm4l7Gi2e2t4b7Ken4/7a16s0r1p-5.62/-6.56g5OR

If you set VIDEO_CARDS to what you want and emerge -auDN world, so xorg-server pulls in the dependencies, you should be able to remove all unneeded packages with "emerge -a --depclean". Be careful though, that's not a toy. You might as well just "emerge --unmerge" the packages you don't want anymore. - Sascha signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Then change your MUA :) I mean, there are more important reasons to not send HTML to public mailing lists than your MUA's inability to read them.

auto_view text/html
That doesn't always help: I've been griping about this on my local TUG
list just recently. Some (web)mail clients, when sending HTML
mails, uses some sort of funky graphics/CSS formatting to denote
quotes, and sometimes they even strip the quote marks ('') that sane
mail clients insert and replace them with their funky graphics.
I complained to my local TUG this time because some guy responded an
e-mail 6 or 7 level down in a thread and auto_view + dumping of html
by lynx makes the quotes completely disappear, and the discussion
becomes completely impossible to follow!
Besides: if one is already using the bandwidth to send mail in HTML,
why not make it MIME-multipart with a plain text version included too?
(BTW, the above gripe is not directed at anyone on this list in
particular, rather is an anecdote to illustrate a point.)

I would just do the following: emerge --depclean world -a revdep-rebuild -a --depclean will remove packages that were brought in as dependencies, but no longer are dependencies. revdep-rebuild will make sure that nothing got removed by revdep-rebuild that should not have been removed.
