14 I'm having the same problems. ati-drivers insists on using X.org-7.1.0.0
15 or earlier, obviously because the drivers were compiled against that
16 version.
17
18 I don't have the ati-drivers source code so I can't tell if there was an
19 ABI change that the driver enforces, or if ATI simply hardcoded the
20 drivers to fail. I'm betting on the latter....
21
22 In either case the solution would appear to be a hard dependency on <=
23 X.org-7.1.0.0 in the ebuild. Have you submitted a bug to bgo?
