Ahh the emul-libs keep getting pulled in. Probably because of OO. Some
of the files actually belong to eselect:


malory GL # equery b /usr/lib32/opengl/global/include/glxext.h
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib32/opengl/global/include/glxext.h in
*... ]
app-admin/eselect-opengl-1.0.3
(/usr/lib32/opengl/global/include/glxext.h)

No just plain OS drivers (I will be experimenting with the OS r300
drivers when I get a chance).

I agree. I do actually run my own overlay for some bits and pieces.
However reading through the Xorg stuff I'd rather leave it to people
more qualified than me :-)

I think the behaviour I'm seeing may be related to
