# nvidia-drivers defaults to +X and then needs libglvnd[X], whose own default
# is X off: on a preset that leaves X undecided (no desktop, no flavor) the two
# defaults contradict each other. On a server this only adds libX11/libXext.

# The rest of that contradiction: +tools builds nvidia-settings (GTK), whose
# stack a desktop preset configures and a bare one leaves on defaults that
# disagree (pango needs freetype[harfbuzz], gtk+[X] needs cairo[X]). Computed
# with emerge --autounmask-use on the bare preset, 2026-10-11; these entries
# change nothing where the GTK stack is not pulled in (server, headless).
