14 Yes, VIDEO_CARDS is a USE-Expand variable - each item in VIDEO_CARDS is
15 expanded to an equivalent use flag of "video_cards_<flag>", meaning
16 VIDEO_CARDS="radeon fbdev fglrx vesa" expands into:
17
18 video_cards_radeon
19 video_cards_fbdev
20 video_cards_fglrx
21 video_cards_vesa
22
23 These use flags then tell xorg-drivers to pull in the relevant packages.
24
25 Remove fglrx from your VIDEO_CARDS, do a world-update and depclean (and make
26 sure you check ``eselect opengl`` is set to "xorg-x11") and see how that goes.

28 Cheers.
