All versions of the ATI driver are blocking xorg-server 1.3 at the moment so you are not going to get around that one easily. If you look at the --tree to find out what package is asking for the upgrade of xorg-server and then mask that? this may help.

Here's what I currently used on my system: x11-base/xorg-server Installed versions: 1.1.1-r1 x11-drivers/ati-drivers Installed versions: 8.35.5 This all works with my ATI 1900XT card (glx gears runs on a full 22 inch widescreen (1680 x 1050) at 1800 FPS. The little default 2x2 runs glxgears at 11,000 FPS. This might explain why every permutaion of ati-drivers and xorg-server that I entered into /etc/portage/package.mask does not neutralize the request to upgrade xorg-server to 1.3.0.0 ## I tried every permutation possible here, nothings masks ##the upgrade request so I can continue with routine upgrades <=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1 >=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5 blocks B x11-drivers/ati-drivers ( is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0) I did not glean from the discussion how to neutralize the erroneous upgrade request so I can perform the other upgrades. Any ideas on that? James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
