xorg-server-1.0.* is compatible with up to the latest version of |
| 2 |
ati-drivers - I have yet to reboot into 2.6.17 but have heard of no |
| 3 |
issues with kernel. |

If you are running ~amd64 you will need to to either match Duncan's |
| 5 |
open-source piety or mask a few xorg things as there has been an ABI |
| 6 |
change in xorg-server which has not been picked up in ati-drivers yet. |

My /etc/portage/package.mask includes the following lines ATM: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.0-r1 |
| 10 |
=x11-base/xorg-x11-7.1 |
| 11 |
=x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.1.0 |
| 12 |
=x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.1.1 |
