I realize the em8300 configure script checks for gtk, but why does the ebuild list it as needed? It ought to check the USE flags for gtk. I use the em8300 modules on a headless machine, no XFree or gtk to be found. To get around it having to compile XFree and gtk, I removed gtk from the depend and had to manually symlink the microcode upload script to /usr/bin/em8300init. Works great now.
As you can read in the FAQ at the dxr3 drivers page, with the drivers come an utility called dhc, that let you change the aspect ratio of the output, or the TV norm. This utility is very usefull because em8300 compiles directly and without asking with NTSC support, an i you use PAL you are f$%&?

Should be so dificult to add a propmt asking to select the tvt norm compiled in the driver while emergen? (with a countdown and ntsc as default for batch emerge). P.S: lastest version is 0.13.0 P.S2: lastest mplayer supports dxr3 overlay.(pre10)

Should be fixed in 0.13.0-r1. Thanks for the report. The ebuild is masked as ~x86 because I cannot test it for the lack of hardware. Please test and report here, so that I could mark the package stable... As for comment #1, I'm afraid that portage does not support interaction. In the future, the above should be possible when the USE flags mechanism is improved.
Closing this one.
