OK, here's some more info on minimal, pulled straight from searching the ebuild for occurrences of "minimal": 1. No fonts. None. Zero. This means X always dies with "Can't find font fixed" unless you provide your own. This could potentially be changed if I find a way to just build the "misc" fonts. 2. None of Tad's fancy cursors 3. No clients. This includes xfs, xdm and xkbcomp. 4. Nothing in /usr/share/doc 5. No Xnest or Xvfb 6. Input drivers limited to mouse and keyboard. Nothing fancy like aiptek or wacom. 7. For x86 only, remove these video drivers: nsc, glint, tga, s3, s3virge, rendition, neomagic, i740, cirrus, tseng, trident, chips, apm, ark, cyrix, siliconmotion. I wasn't sure what was safe for other archs and didn't want to play around without some more research. Of those, the only questionable ones to me are s3, s3virge and especially siliconmotion. I could see the latter being popular on systems that would otherwise use the "minimal" flag. 8.
