Actually, it seems that it doesn't require Xvfb, or any other X server, after all. I just tried emerge gtk+ with USE=-X, and it works perfectly. It didn't emerge any X server, and it works just fine with all the programs I've tried so far. Does that mean that the virtualx eclass is unnecessary, and that I should file a bug report to have it removed? Fredrik Tolf -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
