No, that doesn't seem the best way to do this. There are lots of users |
| 13 |
who stick with the base profile but do install X. They *need* to have |
| 14 |
dri enabled, unless they *really* know what they are doing. So, it |
| 15 |
either needs to stay in the base profile, as it has been up till now, |
| 16 |
or it needs to be set as default (IUSE="+dri") in the specific |
| 17 |
packages. |
