Jarry Maybe you want to try this little peace of code: alias findflag=flagedit --desc --list | grep -i Works really great. If you search for a pattern, just findflag foo. If you search for a specific use-flag you just add : at the end, like findflag bar: Don't forget to install flagedit first, if you haven't already.

Surely this is just a re-implementation of the existing app-portage/ euses? $ euses foo foomaticdb - Adds support for the foomatic printing driver database $ Stroller.

Output is nearly the same.

I'm sure there are 10 ways of doing it, but this is what I use: equery u x11-base/xorg-drivers equery is part of app-portage/gentoolkit in case you don't have it installed. It can do other useful things such as tell you which package installed a file, or show all files installed by a package.

And in the specific case of xorg-drivers those aren't USE flags at all but driver flags :)

Can emerge do this too? You know, maybe some flag to have in addition to -p or -a and have it show this? Since I asked, watch it do this in some nice shiney new version of portage. lol Yep, another tool to add to frequent commands. Dale :-) :-)
