Yes, VIDEO_CARDS is a USE-Expand variable - each item in VIDEO_CARDS is
expanded to an equivalent use flag of "video_cards_<flag>", meaning
VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev fglrx vesa" expands into:

video_cards_radeon
video_cards_fbdev
video_cards_fglrx
video_cards_vesa

These use flags then tell xorg-drivers to pull in the relevant packages.

Remove fglrx from your VIDEO_CARDS, do a world-update and depclean (and make
sure you check ``eselect opengl`` is set to "xorg-x11") and see how that goes.

Cheers.
