Hello Stuart, |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Interesting reading. Here's what I currently used on my system: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
x11-base/xorg-server Installed versions: 1.1.1-r1 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
x11-drivers/ati-drivers Installed versions: 8.35.5 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
This all works with my ATI 1900XT card (glx gears runs |
| 21 |
on a full 22 inch widescreen (1680 x 1050) at 1800 FPS. |
| 22 |
The little default 2x2 runs glxgears at 11,000 FPS. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This might explain why every permutaion of ati-drivers |
| 26 |
and xorg-server that I entered into /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 27 |
does not neutralize the request to upgrade xorg-server to 1.3.0.0 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
## I tried every permutation possible here, nothings masks |
| 30 |
##the upgrade request so I can continue with routine upgrades |
| 31 |
<=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r1 |
| 32 |
>=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.32.5 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
blocks B x11-drivers/ati-drivers ( |
| 36 |
is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I did not glean from the discussion how to neutralize the erroneous |
| 39 |
upgrade request so I can perform the other upgrades. Any ideas on that? |
