24 FEATURES="-collision-protect keepwork" =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2

26 -collision-protect installs the conflicting file even if a collision is
27 reported. This is more a workaround than a real solution, as the next
28 install of xorg-server will probably bring a collision again. Eventually,
29 either the xorg or the ati-drivers ebuild will be changed.
30
31 keepwork just avoids re-compiling the driver to save you some time.
32
33 There is already bug report (http://bugs.gentoo.org/247685), with more
34 information on how to solve this.
