As a side note: why is /usr/games owned by uid "games"? Does
games_pkg_setup() in games.eclass do that? What's the point of user
"games" (as opposed to group with same name)?
I don't know the current situation, but I recall that in the past,
some games pounded away directly on the VGA hardware for speed, or
called libraries that did so. This, of course might be dangerous to
allow regular-user programs to do.
I suppose you mean the "XFree86-DGA extension", USE="dga"?
$ cd $(portageq envvar PORTDIR)
$ grep -r IUSE.*dga */*/*.ebuild
http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/x11-libs/libXxf86dga
But I fail to see how that is relavent with this thread at all, using
the extension is controlled by the xorg-server (Xorg) which is suid root
and unrelated to 'games' (despite being used by some).
