Dale,
   Sorry. My bad for making such an off-hand comment. The emerge
process worked completely correctly and everything was moved to the
right place. None of that is a problem.

   The problem I'm having is that I have two machines with identical
hardware. (Pundit-R's). They were both running as MythTV frontend only
boxes using an old kernel, old ati-driver and old MythTV. One I
rebuilt from scratch instead of updating. It works perfectly. The
second I updated because it also serves as an NFS file server and I
didn't want to take it off line for very long. For some reason on the
second machine ati-drivers won't load. That's the problem I was
alluding to earlier.

Cheers,
Mark
