I can't figure out how to fix this. emerge ati-drivers gives this:

[ebuild N ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r1 USE="acpi -debug"
74,042 kB
[blocks B ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking
x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2)

I'm trying to modify the ebuild:

/usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r1.ebuild

(in my local overlay of course) but I don't see where the block occurs.
Can anyone help? The dependencies are the following and I can't
figure out why they're blocking xorg-server-1.5.2:

RDEPEND="x11-base/xorg-server
!x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra
Quote:
=app-admin/eselect-1.0.9
app-admin/eselect-opengl

amd64? ( app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs )
acpi? (
x11-apps/xauth
sys-power/acpid
)
x11-libs/libXrandr
Quote:
=sys-apps/portage-2.1.1-r1"

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
x11-proto/xf86miscproto
x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto
x11-proto/inputproto"

don't do it. 1.5&8.552 hate each other. You will have broken composite and no
aiglx.

Just wait.

I already have broken composite (or rather, no composite at all) and
neither aiglx Very Happy (4870 with x11-drivers/radeonhd). At least with this
one the card isn't frying itself (no power management with OSS drivers)
and I have OpenGL working (no 3D with OSS drivers).

The problem btw was that portage was lying to me. It's not ati-drivers
blocking xorg-server, but the other way around; xorg-server is blocking
ati-drivers. :P

I got them to install. They run better than the open source drivers Razz
