But then, do these ati/savage drivers really need the X sources? (i.e. not just the installable headers). In any case, if we have USE flags for ATI/savage as suggested in the orig. post, we might as well have one for nvidia. BTW: what's the policy for creating new USE keywords? There's an awful lot already, and it seems we might create one for every second package. There are always package interdependencies. LyX can make use of some 20 packages, but that's no reason for having a USE keyword for each of them! Maybe we should have a setting "USE_ALL" that would always build all possible dependencies of which a package can make use. This could be useful for testing etc. Dan Armak
