From the AMD driver web site: |

|
| 8 |
"32-Bit packages must be installed for 64-Bit Linux drivers to install |
| 9 |
or work. " |

|
| 11 |
The ebuild also pulls in the app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs |
| 12 |
package. |

Please explain. |

| 25 |
stability improvement after switching to the open-source drivers. The |

ati-drivers also crashed my system occasionally. |
