1 Hi,
2
3 I want to emerge a certain package, let's say x11-base/xorg-drivers,
4 so I try first "emerge --pretend xorg-drivers" and find it has ~50
5 various use-flags (some set, some unset). Where can I find their
6 description? For example "vmmouse", what is this USE flag good for?
7 Is it something for vmware?
8
9 I checked /etc/portage/profiles/use.desc and use.local.desc but
10 there are not all of them...
