I found out that getting rid of most of the video drivers was already a huge step forward: drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 3 12:23 xf86-input-keyboard-1.2.2_2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 3 12:23 xf86-input-mouse-1.2.3_2 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 3 12:23 xf86-video-ati-6.9.0 That are the only three I have. Yes, there are many more x* applications nistalled, but it's not something I am worried about. > Anyone agree? Anyone attempt this before? Should I submit a new > "xorg-lite" port?
