i can't be the first person to have this problem, but i NEED xfree on this machine. i've upgraded every other box to xorg, but this one can't be. i need xfree because it's the only windowing system that plays nice with the gatos ati drivers for my tv card. ...and i'm not about to boot to windows to watch tv.
so how do i just tell gentoo not to try to upgrade me? is the following my only choice? is it a good one?
# emerge --inject x11-base/x11-xorg
why is it that xfree had to be removed but other stuff that most people never touch (like kdrive) is still in there? am i the only one that's upset and thinks this is nuts?
Have you tried ati-gatos with xorg-6.7.0? It should be source and binary compatible with xfree-4.3.99.
