1 Hi,
2
3 I have hp zv6000 (amd64) with ati radeon x200. I'm using:
4 x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.24.8
5 or
6 x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.5.8.0
7 Both work more less ok, but work.
8
9 I had >=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.25.18 in my
10 /etc/portage/package.mask because drivers later than 8.24.8 doesn't
11 support my card (it's checked by many till 8.27.10-r1)
12
13 When I've tried to emerge world it failed, because xorg-server and
14 xf86-video-ati require to upgrade this driver.
15
16 The problem is that if I upgrade my system including ati-drivers and
17 they won't work I won't be able to return to the old good one -
18 8.24.8. It's no longer in portage.
19
20 I really need a good advice.
21
22 Thanks,
23 oskar
