[gentoo-user] ATI-driver dependencies problem

I'm having trouble updating my notebook (HP-nw8000) which has a "RV350
[Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]" video card. For this notebook I have a
portreplicator with two external monitors connected (one DVI + one VGA).
I'm using the ati-driver-8.24.8 (in PORTDIR_OVERLAY as it no more exists
in the official portage tree) and have ">x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.24.8"
in /etc/portage/package.mask. I need this version as all the newer once
that I have tested causes the notebook to hard hang when I start X and the
Open-source radeon driver will not work with the two external monitors.
Today when I did an "emerge --sync" and "emerge -uDvNp world" I'm getting
the following error message:
Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10"
have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- - x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1 (masked by: package.mask)
- - x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.28.8 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)
- - x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.29.6 (masked by: package.mask, ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for media-sound/xmms
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Any suggestions on how to solve this?
