Mesa needs that. "radeon" is more of a USE flag, needed by various ebuilds (for example "x11-base/xorg-drivers", "sys-power/pm-utils" and also "media-libs/mesa"). But it should be in VIDEO_CARDS, not in USE. > Does this need adding to /etc/make.conf? Yes. Everyone who uses an AMD card should have "radeon" in VIDEO_CARDS, followed by either "r300" or "r600". Of course only when we're taking about the X.Org drivers. If you're going to use the Catalyst proprietary drivers, you should put "fglrx" in VIDEO_CARDS.
