I cannot switch to newer ati-drivers because my hardware (XPress 200m) is not supported by them. Will attach emerge --info.

Looks weird, ati-drivers shouldn't touch /usr/lib/xorg/modules...
(In reply to comment #2) > Looks weird, ati-drivers shouldn't touch /usr/lib/xorg/modules... Hmm theres a lot of symlinking going on on this system here: Do the following look correct?

These collisions are fixed in 9.6 version. Older wont get the fix (they will be masked and removed soon anyway).
That is very unfortunate for users like me who are stuck with the old drivers because their cards are not supported by the new drivers. In my case that would be the Xpress 200m which is afaik used in many (old) laptops. Is the fix really that hard that it can't be included in a 'legacy' set of ebuilds, a bit like they do with nvidia-drivers (for nvidia-drivers-71.xx)?
