 |
|
Hei,
I installed new gentoo, and emerged xorg-x11 6.8.0-r4 as it was the newest one (I just run emerge xorg-x11)
Then I emerged ati-drivers IT REDUCES the version of xorg-x11 to xorg-x11-6.0.7 !
when I wanted to do
It gives a failure message, which says it can only be done in xorg-x11-6.8.0 and above. So Is it an emerge bug?

I doubt it's a bug. You probably just need to emerge the latest version of ati-drivers (8.8.25) since the 3.14.6 version won't work with Xorg 6.8. Do this | Code: | mkdir -p /etc/portage
echo "media-video/ati-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
Then do "emerge -p ati-drivers". You should see version 8.8.25-r3 listed. If you emerge those, you should be able to use Xorg 6.8 and that should sort out opengl-update.

be sure to also unmerge the ati-drivers-extra package if installed,
else you will wonder why the system will still want to downgrade your ati drivers and xorg when you perform an -uDv world
