I've done that, but it failed to rebuild my xorg-x11. I've still got |
| 15 |
the version from last night, even though I've changed USE flags (via |
| 16 |
setting VIDEO_CARDS) in /etc/make.conf. |
| 17 |
|

/etc/make.conf has a later timestamp than /usr/bin/Xorg, yet this |
| 19 |
doesn't trigger the -N flag. I'm misunderstanding something significant |
| 20 |
here. The emerge man page is not explicit in how it determines "new" |
| 21 |
USE flags. |

If I wanted just to remove Xorg, together with the 188 other packages |
| 24 |
installed with it, would it be correct to run these commands: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
emerge --unmerge xorg-x11 |
| 27 |
emerge --depclean |
| 28 |
