[gentoo-user] Xorg confusion and no glxinfo

Hi All,

I cleared out some xorg related packages at some point because my machine will 
not shutdown without a kernel oops when it is trying to unload the radeon 
driver.  It now seems I can no longer find glxgears/info.  What have I 
removed that I shouldn't have?

I remember unmerging xorg-x11 (there was advice in this list that this is not 
needed when using Fluxbox or other lightweight window managers).

When I moved to x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3-r* I also unmerged 
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati.  I recall concluding at the time that the new 
xorg-server did not need such an external driver - is that right?

I have set radeon as the video card in my /etc/make.conf, but Xorg.0.log shows 
ati_drv.so - should it be so?

# less /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver
        X.Org XInput driver : 2.1
(==) Matched ati for the autoconfigured driver
New driver is "ati"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so
(II) AIGLX: enabled GLX_texture_from_pixmap with driver support

# lsmod | grep radeon
radeon                145696  2 
drm                   141892  3 radeon

Your views?
