1 Hi there !

3 In my /etc/make.conf is a line
4 VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia"
5
6 If I make a "emerge -pv xorg-x11", I get the following output

8 ...

21 Note the VIDEO_CARDS-variable has "nv" and "nvidia" set, which is what is to
22 be expected.

25 If I add a -k for binary packages to the emerge, I get the following output
26
27 ...

44
45 Note the different VIDEO_CARDS, which seems to be the default and hence
46 installing *ALL* optional video drivers.
47
48 I don't want all the drivers I don't need, nor do I want to recompile all of
49 xorg-x11; Is there any possibility to get around this quite odd behaviour?
