If that doesn't pose a major problem, then # emerge -C xorg-server # emerge -D ati-drivers Simply installing the ati-drivers should automatically pull in the newest xorg-server that they will work with. There's a thread somewhere on forums.gentoo.org, and another one a while back on gentoo-dev, explaining the reason for the block. When I first started with the ati-drivers, Xorg 6.8 was the latest available, but they would only work with 6.7 - so we had to wait until ATI released a new version before we could use 6.8. Waiting a few weeks for the very latest xorg-server build won't kill you. ;) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
