Don't add it to your global USE flags !
The minimal flag is used by several packages but you only need to activate it 
for a single package. You might end up with a seriously impaired system if 
you add it to your global flags.

To activate the minimal flag only for x11-base/xorg-server add it 
to /etc/portage/package.use

echo "x11-base/xorg-server minimal" >> /etc/portage/package.use
