My change went quite well here. I removed the flag entry everywhere and then did a emerge world, with the correct options of course. I then logged out, went to boot runlevel, reloaded the video drivers, went back to default and logged in. I can't tell any difference here video wise tho. I did notice that my sddm problem is worse now. It's worse now than it was when it first started. In just a few hours it is consuming over 4GBs of memory. That is ridiculous to me. It using more than Firefox, both profiles, and any other software I have running. I'm thinking about looking for a alternative to sddm. I switched to it a while back but I don't like this memory hungry thing behaving this way. Dale :-) :-)
