35 Hi Johannes,
36 Whoops, sorry, seems I got the version number wrong. Of course, just
37 substituting the desired version would help. On my system:
38
39 12:40:11 | 1 $ emerge -p =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8
40
41 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
42
43 Calculating dependencies... done!
44 [ebuild N ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 USE="acpi opengl -doc"
45 [blocks B ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking
46 x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0)
47
48 This means it is not fine to install them with a newer x-server on my
49 arch (x86).
