Here's an update: I downloaded and emerged xorg-server-1.2.0, xorg-x11-7.2 and ati-drivers-8.32.5 over the weekend and it all went smoothly. So it would seem that ati-drivers does need a hard dependency on <xorg-x11-7.2. File the bug against ati-drivers asking for a hard dep alan -- [email protected] mailing list
