1 Hello,
2
3 Im installing a new dell laptop. Mostly the install has been routine.
4 I cannot seem to get ati-drivers to install.
5
6 bugs.gentoo.org did not reveal anything useful (not from what I read).
7
8 Here is the error:

40 so I thought I'd just add an entry to /etc/portage/package.keywords and try
41 another version (8.39.4) that works fine on another system.
42
43 On the del laptop I cannot get the system to try another ati-drivers version,
44 despite addiing this to the /etc/portagae/package.keywords file:
45 x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~amd64
46
47 Identical to what I have on other systems. I lookedin /usr/portage/distfiles
48 and only found this ati file on the portable:
49 ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run
50
51 so I downloaded the other files from a similar amd 64 system where I use
52 ati-drivers:
53 ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86_64.run
54 ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run
55 ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run
56 ati-driver-installer-8.33.6-x86.x86_64.run
57 ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run
58 ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run
59 ati-driver-installer-8.37.6-x86.x86_64.run
60 ati-driver-installer-8.39.4-x86.x86_64.run
61 ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run
62
63
64 Still I compiling ati-drivers-8.36.5 fails and I cannot even get the
65 dell laptop to try another version of ati-drivers. I recompiled gcc,
66 just for grins. Did nothing to help (4.1.2).
67
68 revdep-rebuild comes back clean. Since it is a new install, I mostly
69 missed something, xorg-x11 is there. No clue.
70
71 Ideas?
