Hi Johannes,
Whoops, sorry, seems I got the version number wrong. Of course, just
substituting the desired version would help. On my system:

12:40:11 | 1 $ emerge -p =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8  USE="acpi opengl -doc"
[blocks B     ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking
x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0)

This means it is not fine to install them with a newer x-server on my
arch (x86).

Regards, Aleks
