What you failed to see if that VIDEO_CARDS flags are just an special type |
| 11 |
of USE flags. Using -auDvN world will fix everything. Truly speaking, |
| 12 |
xorg-server wouldn't even need to be recompiled (though that's what portage |
| 13 |
will do). As far as I know, all these special USE flags for xorg-server |
| 14 |
just push one of another xf86-video-* package(s) as dependencies, which in |
| 15 |
turn install the required driver(s). |

The rest of Xorg components do not relate to this, you shouldn't need to |
| 18 |
recompile anything else unless it also depends on VIDEO_CARDS (only several |
| 19 |
packages do, like DirectFB if I remember right). |
