I hope it's not bad form to reply to my own message ... When I unmerged xorg-x11 I depclean removed a number of packages including= =20 x11-apps/mesa-progs - which contains glxinfo and glxgears. So, this leaves the question - do I need x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati? =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1305920.WfoUrksn3V Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkpR0/YACgkQVTDTR3kpaLZ17QCfX7u8AiXvbITzR1jft5X5kHW6 GDoAoOdwF8UFiZzyc48dxQqk+WEXGQe+ =f9hf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1305920.WfoUrksn3V--
