I have to agree. Do it sort of like KDE, with kde, kde-meta or as
seperate packages. Have it so you can pull in all three in one emerge
command but have the option to do it seperately as well. I have only
emerged glx once and do the nvidia-kernel when I change kernels. I
really don't have any use for the settings package, as long as my GUI
works anyway.
Just give us some options. We'll be happy then.
THAT is a very reasonable comment!
And maybe a thought as well. It sounds doable to me. Removes foot from
mouth. LOL
Thank you Dale and everyone else who commented. Please do not think this
was an attempt to shove anything down anyone's throat. It was not. That's
why this thread was started and that is why we wanted feedback.
I didn't feel that way. The only rig of mine that uses nvidia stuff is
a fast one anyway. It doesn't matter to me but it may to someone that
is forced to use a 200MHz rig with only 64MBs of ram. A laptop comes to
mind as well.
Those who commented that settings and xconfig are optional _are_ correct.
They are in no way required and indeed many people would not use them even
if they could. Since they were so small, I wanted to see if unifying the
ebuilds would make sense.
I would not object to the settings package as long as it does not change
the defaults when it installs. For me the default works. Why mess with
what works?

To err is human, I'm most certainly human.
I have four rigs:
1: Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now two
80GB hard drives.
2: Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive.
3: Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB
drive.
4: Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB
SCSI drive.
All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
