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

-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

-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?

Greetings,
    Alex
