I still haven't figured out how to get rid of all the files |
| 11 |
belonging to the ati-drivers package. |

Adding that symlink solved the problem. |

Apparently this breakage was due to the switch to modular X11 a |
| 22 |
while back. The instructions I was following said to delete |
| 23 |
/usr/X11R6 if it wasn't a symlink, but they never said to |
| 24 |
create a symlink. Apparently a number of packages depend on |
| 25 |
that symlink being there, but none of them will create it if it |
| 26 |
isn't there. |
