Hi,
I want to emerge a certain package, let's say x11-base/xorg-drivers,
so I try first "emerge --pretend xorg-drivers" and find it has ~50
various use-flags (some set, some unset). Where can I find their
description? For example "vmmouse", what is this USE flag good for?
Is it something for vmware?
I checked /etc/portage/profiles/use.desc and use.local.desc but
there are not all of them...

Maybe you want to try this little peace of code:
alias findflag="flagedit --desc --list | grep -i"
Works really great. If you search for a pattern, just "findflag
foo". If you search for a specific use-flag you just add ":" at the
end, like "findflag bar:"
Don't forget to install flagedit first, if you haven't already.
Surely this is just a re-implementation of the existing app-portage/
euses?
$ euses foo
foomaticdb - Adds support for the foomatic printing driver database

Stroller.
