Hi, I have some MythTV frontend machines that have been happily running for about 15 months using what is now a pretty old kernel and ati-drivers package. I am having trouble updating these machines since neither the kernel or the ati-drivers ebuilds are available in portage any more and, unfortunately, nothing that is in portage seems to boot and work correctly.
I wanted to know if I leave the kernel and ati-driver package alone but upgrade to xorg-x11-7.0 will it work? Does xorg-x11-7+ force any specific kernel requirement? I've already found that the one ati-driver that does work doesn't seem to like any of the kernels in portage that I've tried. Please note that the issue here is that I need these Pundit-R machines to use the S-Video outputs and not the normal VGA output. If anyone else out there is using Pundit-R's with newer kernels and drivers I'd love to know about it. I don't care one way or the other about ati-drivers vs. xorg drivers. It matters not to me. Thanks, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
