Hi,

I want to emerge a certain package, let's say x11-base/xorg-drivers,
so I try first "emerge --pretend xorg-drivers" and find it has ~50
various use-flags (some set, some unset). Where can I find their
description? For example "vmmouse", what is this USE flag good for?
Is it something for vmware?

I checked /etc/portage/profiles/use.desc and use.local.desc but
there are not all of them...

Maybe you want to try this little peace of code:

alias findflag="flagedit --desc --list | grep -i"

Works really great. If you search for a pattern, just "findflag foo". If you search for a specific use-flag you just add ":" at the end, like "findflag bar:"
Don't forget to install flagedit first, if you haven't already.
