I want to switch one of my machines to modular xorg. What, precisely,
do I need to install? I do not see any obvious set of packages that I
should install.
In meta-pkgs, I see modular-xorg-drivers and modular-org-fonts. I
certainly need some driver, though it's not clear to me that I need or
want all of them. I probably do want the fonts, but everyone needs
fonts -- and I don't see the fonts metapackage listed in any other
package. (I grepped Makefile* and *.mk throughout pkgsrc, so I could
have missed it if it's in another file.)
In x11, there's modular-xorg-server, though that seems to be dragged in
by the individual drivers.
Where do clients come from? There's an xorg-clients package, but it
seems to be for 6.9. In wip, I see modular-xorg-utils and
modular-xorg-wip -- do I need those? Where, for example, will I find
xterm? (The PLIST files are empty for those two packages.)
