With help from ruskie today, I installed xorg-modular and was able to
get it up and running.

Overall the installation went very smoothly. A few of the default
selections for options could be better and I think that ruskie has
fixed most of them already. In particular you need to select to
build xorg-server and select to build with setuid. You also have to
remember to separately cast the drivers that you need. In my case
vmware (video driver), keyboard, mouse.

Perhaps the profile packages should optionally depend on all of the
drivers?

Getting the fonts working correctly took a little bit of work since
you have to manually select which font spells to cast, but it seems to
be okay now, but not quite optimal.

Perhaps the profile packages should optionally depend on all of the
fonts?
