Hello

I would like to get rid of all unnecessary x11-drivers/xf86-video-*= packages.
I do NOT want to migrate to "Modular X".

I set my video card in /etc/make.conf as follows:
VIDEO_CARDS=3D"i810"

What should I do now. Just "emerge --unmerge" on each unnecessary package ?
Is it sufficient for emerge to NOT to install drivers on an upgrade xorg in the future.

Thanks for answer.

You alreads USE "modular X", if you have separate xf86-video-* packages installed.
If you set VIDEO_CARDS to what you want and emerge -auDN world, so xorg-server pulls in the dependencies, you should be able to remove all unneeded packages with "emerge -a --depclean". Be careful though, that's not a toy. You might as well just "emerge --unmerge" the packages you don't want anymore.
