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 [ebuild N ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fbdev -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" 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 kB [ebuild N ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-via-0.1.33.2 USE="-debug -dri" 355 kB [binary N ] virtual/glu-7.0 [binary N ] x11-apps/mesa-progs-6.4.2 [binary N ] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv-1.0.2.0 USE="-debug" [binary N ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="-apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fbdev -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -nv -nvidia -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vesa -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" 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?
