i can't be the first person to have this problem, but i NEED xfree on this

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?
put "x11-base/xorg-x11" in /etc/portage/package.mask and portage will
never emerge it.
but he will never emerge anything else, a lot in portage depend upon X11
