Description Christian Schmidt 2006-02-28 05:51:30 UTC

The xvmc USE-flag is used xine and mplayer and enables support for the X-Video Motion Compensation extension.
This extension is provided by the x11-libs/libXvMC package, and neither installed by default nor depending on the USE-flag.

No, mplayer/xine-lib depends on x11-libs/libXvMC with modular X installed. If you don't get that dependency installed, then you are doing wrong stuff wrt virtual/x11 definition in /etc/portage files (package.provided, virtuals) and you have much bigger problem than just this one lib.
