That's what happened to me: gentoo ~ # equery depends ati-drivers [ Searching for packages depending on ati-drivers... ] x11-misc/googleearth-4_beta x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 Not really. xorg-x11 requires ati-drivers only if you have fglrx in VIDEO_CARDS (or video_cards_fglrx in use flags) and googlearth has a dependency (on amd64) on any of the following: # cat /usr/portage/x11-misc/googleearth/googleearth-4_beta.ebuild [...] RDEPEND=[...] [...] || ( =app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-7.0 =media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.6629-r3 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.8.25-r1 ) [...] If *any* of those packages are installed the requirement is satisfied and it won't pull in any others. If none are installed it will install the first on the list (=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs-7.0). Hence it will never pull ati-drivers in... -- Bo Andresen pgpFRrcIVvZF9.pgp Description: PGP signature
