Emerging modular KDE akes as long as emerging the old big kde packages (36 hours on your pc), emerging modular x should be faster than emerging old xorg-x11 (genlop -t xorg-x11), because just the neccessary drivers and libs are built. Don't forget to read the modular x migration howto. Philipp -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
