1 I was going to update world and I just noticed a few strange details.
2 For example, xorg-server has a new (?) USE variable "elogind" which
3 appears to be enabled by default. I suppose I can block it in
4 package.use, but I'm curious about what it does. In
5 https://packages.gentoo.org/useflags/elogind
6 I found
7 "Use elogind to get control over framebuffer when running as regular user"
8
9 Could someone explain what this entails? What happened before this USE
10 variable was created? What will I miss if I disable it?
