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?

Acctually NO... there will be a confgi_query_multi for that so that
ppl can chose their drivers and fonts

That works as well, yes. :)
