Xorg

As we have modular xorg, you need to install several packages to be able to use it.

A list of these packages, according to my experience, is the following:

  • xorg-server
  • xorg-font-utils
  • xorg-xinit
  • xorg-utils
  • xf86-video-<your video card>
  • xf86-input-keyboard
  • xf86-input-mouse
  • xorg-fonts-100dpi
  • (xorg-fonts-75dpi)
  • (xorg-fonts-misc)
  • (xorg-fonts-type1)

There is an "xorg-meta" package with a USE flag for the video card, e.g. USE="ati" or USE="nv". You can install all packages mentioned above using only one command: 

 USE=myvideocard spaceman -i xorg-meta

Keep in mind that USE="nvidia" will not work since there is no xf86-video-nvidia package.
