31 My X install looks like this:
32
33 cruteme@cruter /etc $ emerge -pv xorg-x11
34
35 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
36
37 Calculating dependencies ...done!
38 [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4 -3dfx +3dnow +bitmap-fonts +cjk
39 -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal
40 +mmx +nls -nocxx +opengl +pam -sdk +sse -static +truetype-fonts +type1-fonts
41 (-uclibc) +xprint +xv 0 kB
42
43 Total size of downloads: 0 kB

45 I actually un-emerged the font server a while back and haven't suffered any
