Hi,

I have hp zv6000 (amd64) with ati radeon x200. I'm using:
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.24.8
or
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.5.8.0
Both work more less ok, but work.

I had >=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18 in my
/etc/portage/package.mask because drivers later than 8.24.8 doesn't
support my card (it's checked by many till 8.27.10-r1)

When I've tried to emerge world it failed, because xorg-server and
xf86-video-ati require to upgrade this driver.

The problem is that if I upgrade my system including ati-drivers and
they won't work I won't be able to return to the old good one -
8.24.8. It's no longer in portage.

I really need a good advice.

Thanks,
oskar
