Sorry for any confusion. When I said no the libs aren't in there, I
meant symlinks as well. (Since that's effectively put them in there).

I only have xorg-x11 installed. The ATI rubbsh never works for me
because they don't & aren't interested in supporting the PCI-ID of my
card (Saphire9600 256MB job). [Besides which I abhore proprietary
drivers. To the extent that I think I'll go OGP when it comes out if I
can afford it - but I digress].

I gather eselect is SUPPOSED to put the symlinks in there... Any tips
if it doesn't?
