The problem came when I wanted to INSTALL the packages on the target machine, where portage seems to ignore the VIDEO_CARDS variable from /etc/make.conf for some reason.
Because it uses the VIDEO_CARDS variable from the binary package. In other words, the VIDEO_CARDS variable of your build system does not match the target system. As Randy said, you cannot change the useflags (and VIDEO_CARDS are a kind of useflag) of a binary package. A quick demonstration: My normal xorg-x11 merging: carcharias src # emerge -pv xorg-x11 [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" 0 kB Since my binary packages were built on this system, using the binary package is the same: carcharias src # emerge -pv -k xorg-x11 [binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" Now "simulate" a system with different VIDEO_CARDS by adding fglrx: carcharias src # VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa fglrx" emerge -pv xorg-x11 [ebuild N ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.26.18-r1 USE="-acpi -doc -opengl" 23,160 kB [ebuild R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev fglrx* nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" 0 kB So it recognized that I added fglrx,and wants to add x11-drivers/ati-drivers. Now let's try that with the binary package, that now does not match my "target" system: carcharias src # VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa fglrx" emerge -pv --usepkgonly xorg-x11 [binary R ] x11-base/xorg-x11-7.0-r1 USE="-3dfx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -joystick -magellan -magictouch -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -tek4957 -ur98 -vmmouse -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev nv nvidia vesa -apm -ark -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -fglrx -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic -nsc -r128 -radeon -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -v4l -vga -via -vmware -voodoo" See, no fglrx and no merging of ati-drivers, even though fglrx is in my VIDEO_CARDS.
