I have the following additional USE flags on my system that might help 
you. Try adding them one at a time and doing an 'emerge -Dua --newuse 
world' to see if any of them would be used.

directfb ffmpeg xine divx4linux v4l gtk gtk2 mythtv

My guess would be that the directfb flag is the one you need.
