Hello

I would* like to get rid of all unnecessary x11-drivers/xf86-video-* packages.
I do NOT want to migrate to "Modular X".

I set my video card in /etc/make.conf as follows:
VIDEO_CARDS="i810"

What should I do now. Just "emerge --unmerge" on each unnecessary package ?
Is it sufficient for emerge to NOT to install drivers on an upgrade xorg in the future.

Thanks for answer.

You alreads USE "modular X", if you have separate xf86-video-* packages
installed.

If you set VIDEO_CARDS to what you want and emerge -auDN world, so
xorg-server pulls in the dependencies, you should be able to remove all
unneeded packages with "emerge -a --depclean". Be careful though,
that's not a toy. You might as well just "emerge --unmerge" the
packages you don't want anymore.

Please, disable HTML in your client or at least tell it to send a plain
text version as well. I see hardly readable raw HTML code in mutt.


Then change your MUA

I mean, there are more important reasons to not send HTML to public
mailing lists than your MUA's inability to read them.

Sure, but that's the one reason bugging me

You may want to add this line to muttrc:

auto_view text/html

That doesn't always help: I've been griping about this on my local TUG
list just recently. Some (web)mail clients, when sending HTML
mails, uses some sort of funky graphics/CSS formatting to denote
quotes, and sometimes they even strip the quote marks ('>') that sane
mail clients insert and replace them with their funky graphics.

I complained to my local TUG this time because some guy responded an
e-mail 6 or 7 level down in a thread and auto_view + dumping of html
by lynx makes the quotes completely disappear, and the discussion
becomes completely impossible to follow!

Besides: if one is already using the bandwidth to send mail in HTML,
why not make it MIME-multipart with a plain text version included too?

(BTW, the above gripe is not directed at anyone on this list in
particular, rather is an anecdote to illustrate a point.)

I agree there should be a plain text version included AND the html
should be standards compliant, in a perfect world.

I'm still looking for a solution to the idiots in the HR department that
insist on sending all their touchy-feely-it's-a-wonderful-world motivational
mails as a single giant jpeg...
