5 No, and no.

9 fglrxinfo would tell you the version of the ati-drivers in use.

11 But... there can be only one (the package is not slotted).

37 Problem here-- afaik-- is that the drivers-extra package is hooked to
38 the drivers package of the same version.
39
40 The --deep update of the drivers-extra package requires the 'same'
41 version of the drivers package as it itself is numbered.
42
43 What I don't understand is why you are not getting drivers-extra-8.18.8,
44 but only 8.14.13.
45
46 And I definitely don't know how the double "upgrade" would work, except
47 that it would likely be an upgrade/downgrade (but not shown as such
48 because the upgrade has not yet been performed).
49
50 emerge -p ati-drivers ati-drivers-extra
51
52 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
53
54 Calculating dependencies ...done!
55 [ebuild R ] media-video/ati-drivers-8.18.8-r1
56 [ebuild R ] media-video/ati-drivers-extra-8.18.8
57
58 Do you maybe have a mask on ati-drivers-extra?
