Description Christian Apolloni 2006-04-02 03:28:32 UTC 
'/usr/portage/profiles/hardened/x86/use.mask' does not unmask modular xorg flags. In my case the 'video_cards_nvidia' flag is needed to use nvidia-kernel.

In the default-linux/x86/use.mask file there is this section:

---
# Modular X: unmask for architectures on which they are available
-input_devices_synaptics
-input_devices_vmmouse
-input_devices_wacom
-video_cards_nvidia
-video_cards_fglrx
-video_cards_vmware

# Modular X: mask for architectures on which they aren't available
video_cards_newport
---

I am not sure about the other flags, but the 'video_cards_nvidia' one works well here.

ok; I've updated the masks for hardened/x86 and hardened/amd64 in line with default-linux.  Thanks for the heads-up.
