Well, I think I got the conecpt behind meta packages. My question was why do I get a different content of the VIDEO_CARDS-variable when I specify "-k" in emerge or not???
You can't change the USE flags a binary package was built with. Binary packages are built with a certain set of flags, and they're stuck with that set of flags until you recompile the whole thing.
I'd recommend you emerge --nodeps xorg-x11 in order to change its USEflags to the ones you want (no compilation necessary), and then emerge -k to pull in the binary packages depended on by its new flags, which will save you the compiling time.
