Hi,

Due to the recent X updates, portage wants to upgrade ati-drivers.  I am
having problems with all ati-drivers newer than 8.34.8 [1], so what is
the official way to make sure 8.34.8 stays there until a newer version
is released that fixes these problems?  Is just filing a bug against a
specific version enough?

(I already know how to mask the newer xorg versions, no probs)

The bug I did file [2] was marked resolved, upstream, but I only
mentioned the latest release of ati-drivers, not all of them.  I've also
found out a bit more since then.  So what's the official way to keep an
ebuild around?  I noticed there are quite a few versions
in /usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers, but maybe not for long?!

thanks,
