Hi there !
In my /etc/make.conf is a line
VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia"
If I make a "emerge -pv xorg-x11", I get the following output
...
[ebuild N ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.0.2.0 USE="-debug" 0 kB
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/libXv-1.0.1 USE="-debug" 0 kB

Note the VIDEO_CARDS-variable has "nv" and "nvidia" set, which is what is to
be expected.
If I add a -k for binary packages to the emerge, I get the following output
...
[ebuild N ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-i810-1.4.1.3 USE="-debug -dri" 368

Note the different VIDEO_CARDS, which seems to be the default and hence
installing *ALL* optional video drivers.
I don't want all the drivers I don't need, nor do I want to recompile all of
xorg-x11; Is there any possibility to get around this quite odd behaviour?
Greetings,
Alex
