I recently switched from the proprietary ati-driver to the open source radeon |
2 |
driver. After a great deal of sweating and swearing and experimenting, I got |
3 |
the xorg.conf file properly configured. I have ati-drivers masked in my |
4 |
package.mask. However, something in my system still thinks I should be using |
5 |
the ati-drivers. Updating world gives me: |
6 |
|
7 |
root@Merlin:/etc/portage # emerge -uDvat world |
8 |
|
9 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: |

12 |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10" have |
13 |
been masked. |
14 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: |
15 |
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1 (masked by: package.mask) |
16 |
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) |
17 |
- x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.29.6 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword) |
18 |
|
19 |
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or |
20 |
refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for kde-base/kompare |
23 |
!!! Depgraph creation failed. |

|
26 |
Just to see what it would give me, I commented oue the ati-package in |
27 |
package.mask and tested updating kompare. |
28 |
|

|
30 |
root@Merlin:/etc/portage # emerge -uDvat kompare |

34 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |

I'm not worried about the esound blockage. That's another issue. I'm just |
69 |
trying to figure out why my system thinks ati-package is a requirement. I |
70 |
have a hard time believing that someone with an NVidia card would need that |
71 |
package, so it can't be a hard requirement. Any ideas on how to track this |
72 |
down? I don't see anything in the USE flags which might bring it in. |
