14 You should try
15 $ sudo emerge -va =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5
16 Note that the precise path (before the slash) is mandatory, as is the
17 `=' sign. You don't have to copy the stuff into portage/distfiles, but
18 maybe your xorg-version could block the merge. Try downgrading then.
19
20 But I'm not sure if this could help with your issues.
