You can overide the global USE variable specified in /etc/make.conf for |
| 15 |
specific ebuilds by pass a USE="<whatever> on the command line. |

Actually, the alsa-0.9 driver ebuild has an easter egg for you to build |
| 23 |
a specific driver (or a list of a subset of drivers) only, see the |
| 24 |
alsa-driver-0.9.0_beta10.ebuild. Don't know if something similar could |
| 25 |
be done with Xfree. |
