This is being pulled in because you have VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia in /etc/make.conf. If you want only the opensource nv driver, you want "VIDEO_CARDS=nv" instead.
Ok, I'll try this. What's IUSE="video_cards_nvidia ... etc " all about in the xine-lib ebuild?

The nv driver does not support DRI (eg, no 3D hardware acceleration), so opengl applications are going to run in software emulation mode, and probably be very slow. What is it that you are trying to do?
Watch and edit videos, for one thing. Googleearth. Grass gis maybe. Nv has been ok. W/ dual opterons, even though not especially fast ones, these graphics intensive tasks have been performing well. Googleearth hasn't been working, either because of this issue, or amd64 incompatibility: it works well even with a really slow card on an x86 box. Thanks for the pointers. Alan
