20 Oops, I just remembered that I can just look on my other gentoo server
21 to find where gl is.... and this brings up a new problem!
22
23 gl.pc is located in /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gl.pc
24 equery belongs tells me that it belongs to mesa.
25
26 BUT, xorg-server-1.7.3.901-r1 has mesa as a PDEPEND, and mesa-7.7 has
27 xorg-server as a RDEPEND, which is included in DEPEND, so how the heck
28 am I supposed to get X working on my laptop?
