Description Jisakiel 2008-09-27 10:30:52 UTC 
Xorg ebuild should add the virtualbox xorg drivers (x11-drivers/xf86-input-virtualbox and x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox) in the VIDEO_CARDS and INPUT_DEVICES, just as vmware flag exists

(right now, in my system: 

[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.0  USE="dri hal ipv6 nptl sdl xorg -3dfx -debug -dmx -kdrive -minimal" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev joystick keyboard mouse vmmouse -acecad -aiptek -calcomp -citron -digitaledge -dmc -dynapro -elo2300 -elographics -fpit -hyperpen -jamstudio -magellan -microtouch -mutouch -palmax -penmount -spaceorb -summa -synaptics -tek4957 -ur98 -void -wacom" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev radeon v4l vesa vga vmware -apm -ark -ast -chips -cirrus -cyrix -dummy -epson -fglrx -geode -glint -i128 -i740 -i810 (-impact) -imstt -mach64 -mga -neomagic (-newport) -nsc -nv -nvidia -r128 -radeonhd -rendition -s3 -s3virge -savage -siliconmotion -sis -sisusb (-sunbw2) (-suncg14) (-suncg3) (-suncg6) (-sunffb) (-sunleo) (-suntcx) -tdfx -tga -trident -tseng -vermilion -via -voodoo -xgi" 0 kB

)

That way, adding "virtualbox" to those sets in make.conf would automatically pull the required driver packages. 

Reproducible: Always

X11: mind if I add it to the ebuild?

Go ahead.
