ati-drivers-8.8.25-r3 conflicts with opengl-update-2.1_pre1

I was trying to install the latest version of the ati-drivers, ie. the new ones just released by ati that support X.org 6.8, however I have a problem with the ebuilds.

ati-drivers-8.8.25-r3 says it needs >= opengl-update-2.1_pre1 and
opengl-update-2.1_pre1 says it can't be installed with ati-drivers-8.8.25-r3 or X.org.6.8

Any ideas?

Hi,

i did a emerge unmerge ati-drivers and then reemerge opengl-update and ati-drivers. Hope this helps ;-)

I followed the tip about unmerging and emerging the ati-drivers and opengl.

Worked nicely indeed, however the ati-drivers refused at first. Since I had that same problem before, I knew how to enter the ebuild and reduce (KV_FULL) to just (KV). A solution found in another thread about ATi problems.

Saved and exited.

Now I am back in business

It didn't worked for me. After unmerging ati-drivers and opengl-update, portage refuses to merge the new opengl-update (pre4). It says xorg 6.8 blocks it. But I don't have 6.8 installed at all (only 6.7)!!

Any help?

Cheers,

those things can't be installed with anything less than those specific versions not greater than or equal to.

The above mentioned fix by keiss worked for me...

What I noticed when unmerging ati-drivers is that both ati-drivers-3.14.6 & ati-drivers-8.8.25-r1 were both being unmerged.... I think that this was probably causing the issue since the new version of ati-drivers wants to be installed in its own slot, and there was dependency issues with both versions being installed.
