1 At spyderous's request, I have built X-modular in a chroot using the
2 ebuild:
3 emerge xorg-x11 (which for me is =x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0.0_rc1)
4 On a SB(2x900), this took about four hours and merged about 90 packages.
5
6 When I build X-modular with my own script, it builds about 139
7 packages, so it is instructive to see the differences:
8 1. For some reason, I left x11-apps/[setxkbmap, xrandr] and
9 x11-libs[libXcomposite, libXxf86dga] out of my script.
10
11 2. The script installs lots more fonts (adobe, bitstream, font-bh, and
12 so on).
13
14 3. The script installs freeglut. I don't remember why this was
15 necessary, but something in my initial build needed freeglut instead of
16 glut (even though they are the same thing, so far as I know).
17
18 4. The script installs several xorg-themes.
19
20 5. The script installs xmkmf & friends (imake and so on).
21
22 6. The script installs some extra applications; noteworthy ones are
23 xconsole, xrdb, xset, along with a few others that matter to me.
24
25 7. The script installs a fairly complete set of drivers: input-[evdev,
26 keyboard, mouse]; video-sunffb.
27
28 8. The script installs a few more x11-lib/ packages. libICE is
29 probably the only notable one.

31 Hope this is of some interest,
32 Regards,
