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 ...

If I add a -k for binary packages to the emerge, I get the following output ...

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?
