17 Maybe I'm wrong, but binary packages are BINARY (-k), so, you can't
18 change their USE, because they're already compiled, they'll use the
19 flags that were used by the time the package was created. If you
20 install it creating binaries (FEATURES="buildpkg" emerge xorg-x1) now
21 with another USE or emerge it and create the binaries after it
22 (quickpkg), then you may get what you want when you try and reinstall
23 it.

25 Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm using logic here, not
26 exactly empiric knowledge ;)
