Description Mike 2011-04-05 17:46:14 UTC

The ati-driver ebuild pulls in and builds the xorg-server-1.9.99 as a dependency.  If the driver is built after xorg install it breaks xorg all the time as the server is of a lower dependency then the rest of xorg that was built.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install xorg-server or xorg-x11
2.Install the ati-driver ebuild

Actual Results:  
When startx - xorg server crashes and fails to start.  Sorry can't remember the exact fault it produces.

Expected Results:  
The dependency tree inside the ebuild should be written with a greater than variable if possible (new to gentoo, don't know if portage would understand a >xorg-server-1.9.99). 

Only way I know to resolve is to install xorg twice, once with an emerge ati-drivers, then an emerge xorg-(server/x11).  Not ideal but it works.

It is not clear to me what is your problem.

ati-drivers-11.3 is not compatible with xorg-server-1.10, so you cannot have both installed at the same time. If you have xorg-server-1.10 installed and then install ati-drivers-11.3, portage will downgrade to xorg-server-1.9 first. This is normal and expected.
