The VIDEO_CARDS make.conf setting is used to define what graphics support is enabled on your system. It is generally used only by packages that directly implement graphics support, such as media-libs/mesa and a few others. To set VIDEO_CARDS, set it in /etc/make.conf, separating each value with a space, as follows:
/etc/make.conf (bash source code) VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965 i915"
Starting with Funtoo Linux 1.4, VIDEO_CARDS settings work a bit differently than in Gentoo and are documented here. Also note that it is possible to have VIDEO_CARDS set for you via use of a Funtoo profile mix-in.
VIDEO_CARDS Settings
The following VIDEO_CARDS settings are available for enabling graphics support:
Function: CargoSQLQuery::run Query: SELECT fields=CONCAT( '', name, '' ) = name AS `fields=CONCAT( '', name, '' ) = name`,`description` AS `description`,`platforms__full` AS `platforms` FROM `cargo__video_cards` ORDER BY fields=CONCAT( '', name, '' ) = name,`description`,`cargo__video_cards`.`platforms__full` LIMIT 100
