After a great deal of sweating and swearing and experimenting, I got the xorg.conf file properly configured. I have ati-drivers masked in my package.mask. However, something in my system still thinks I should be using the ati-drivers. Updating world gives me: root@Merlin:/etc/portage # emerge -uDvat world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies / !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1 (masked by: package.mask) - x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) - x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.29.6 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. !!! Problem resolving dependencies for kde-base/kompare !!! Depgraph creation failed. Just to see what it would give me, I commented oue the ati-package in package.mask and tested updating kompare. root@Merlin:/etc/portage # emerge -uDvat kompare These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
