The ati-drivers-3* require <xorg-x11-6.8*. The ati-drivers-8* (~x86) work with any xorg-x11. It's your choice what to merge. To merge the newer, better ati-driver add it (and any deps) to package.keyword, with witth ~x86 keyword. To use the older, more proven ati-driver (and avoid upgrades unsupported by it) add >xorg-x11-6.7.99 to your package.mask. To forgo the use of the proprietary ati drivers: emerge -aC ati-drivers. /drunk -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy -- [email protected] mailing list
