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, [1] see previous post "Re: [gentoo-user] Re: fglrx and posix shared mem" [2] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185825 -- Iain Buchanan Homer: I keep hearing this horrible irregular thumping noise.
