I decided to fulley emerge update my system, sorted out all package blocks etc. My system portage tree is up to date with xorg-server 1.7. Of course the ati drivers from 9.11 through to 10.3 are blocked so i attempted the install of the 10.3 driver from ATI this compiled installed without a single error. Upon load of X with my xorg.conf correctly set the Xserver quits unable to load driver fglrx with DPMSEnabledswitch (dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: DPMSEnabledSwitch) I am guessing something has been removed from the xorg-server and the driver binary has yet to be updated to work with this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Fully update your system with xorg-server-1.7( i removed fglrx use flag in my make.conf to do this), ATI-Drivers will be blocked 2.DOwnload and install the ATI driver 10.3 file from ATI install. 3.Configure X with the device section "fglrx" verify its loaded with lsmod and boom the above error occurs Actual Results: dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: DPMSEnabledSwitch Expected Results: dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: DPMSEnabledSwitch I am reporting this to make it aware to any developers who may know why and whats going on here. Maybe a patch can be made to fix and allow the drivers to be moved from blocked packages. If anyone else has found this it would be good to hear as i'll know its not specific just to me.

..."so i attempted the install of the 10.3 driver from ATI"... I'd say that unless you've used an updated ebuild, that would mark this bug as INVALID right from the start. Ebuilds both for ati and nvidia binary blobs are there for a reason.
you need to use the beta driver (available in portage as ati-drivers-8.721 and p.masked)
