Because it uses the VIDEO_CARDS variable from the binary package. In
other words, the VIDEO_CARDS variable of your build system does not
match the target system. As Randy said, you cannot change the
useflags (and VIDEO_CARDS are a kind of useflag) of a binary package.
A quick demonstration:
My normal xorg-x11 merging:
carcharias src # emerge -pv xorg-x11
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp
-citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit
-hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch
-mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse
-void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips
-cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64
-mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage
-siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via
-vmware -voodoo" 0 kB
Since my binary packages were built on this system, using the binary
package is the same:
carcharias src # emerge -pv -k xorg-x11
[binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp
-citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit
-hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch
-mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse
-void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips
-cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64
-mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage
-siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via
-vmware -voodoo"
Now "simulate" a system with different VIDEO_CARDS by adding fglrx:
carcharias src # VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa fglrx" emerge -pv xorg-x11
[ebuild N ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.26.18-r1 USE="-acpi -doc
-opengl" 23,160 kB
[ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp
-citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit
-hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch
-mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse
-void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx* nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark
-chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64
-mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage
-siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via
-vmware -voodoo" 0 kB
So it recognized that I added fglrx,and wants to add
x11-drivers/ati-drivers. Now let's try that with the binary package,
that now does not match my "target" system:
carcharias src # VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa fglrx" emerge -pv
--usepkgonly xorg-x11
[binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp
-citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit
-hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch
-mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse
-void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips
-cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64
-mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage
-siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via
-vmware -voodoo"
See, no fglrx and no merging of ati-drivers, even though fglrx is in
my VIDEO_CARDS.
HTH,
