Description: Meta package containing deps on all xorg drivers

But why doesn't xorg-server recognise it and report it?

Sorry, I didn't understand the explanation of 'VIDEO_CARDS being in emerge --info twice' or to simply look at 'eix xorg-drivers' which was a bit vague to sufficiently answer why eix is reporting xorg-server as having the various VIDEO_CARD.

With 1.6, the drivers have been broken out into the xorg-drivers metapackage. This package respects the VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES variables.
What eix reports is rather deceptive, as it lists the available IUSE options and other variables for all versions of the package simultaneously, not just for the version you have installed.
Read /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.6.5.ebuild for yourself. Now go read /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-drivers/xorg-drivers-1.6.ebuild. See? |
It hadn't occurred to me that things had changed and eix was reporting USE flags for all possible xorg-server ebuilds. Looking at the output from eix in closer detail I now see its listing all available USE flags for the available versions, but when its reporting the installed verison its showing which USE flags are enabled/disabled for the installed version (should have know it would be done sanely really!).
Looked at /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.6.5.ebuild and /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-xorg-drivers-1.6.ebuild and compared these to the older /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/xorg-server-1.5.3-r7.ebuild and I can see how things have moved around (although I'm no expert at writing or understanding ebuilds (Currently struggling to write one for JAGS so I can use it and have it interface with dev-lang/R, finding the Developer Handbook invaluable though))
Retrospectively read through /usr/portage/x11-base/xorg-server/ChangeLog where I found the following...

+xorg-server-1.6.3.901-r1.ebuild,
+files/1.6.3.901-0001-dix-append-built-ins-to-the-font-path-in-SetDefaultF
.patch:
add a patch to fix bug #278487, split drivers into x11-base/xorg-drivers
|
...but I really don't have time to read the ChangeLog's for each and every package that is updated and didn't see this flaged up as a NEWS item.
Thanks for taking the time to provide a clearer explanation and not doing so in a patronising manner 
Cheers,
slack
