Xorg is running 6.8.0-r4 and I want to use that version. How can I
make to install ONLY ati-drivers? I tryed to mask the package and
nothing.
No, it wouldn't work, because ati-drivers versions 3.14.6 and below do
not work with X.org above version 6.7.0-r3, so those versions of the
drivers demand that you downgrade if you want to use them.
The new version of the ati-drivers (8.8.25) does work with X.org 6.8 and
above (with some caveats), but you must have them masked, as they are
still ~86 and ~amd64.
If you would like to try them, add
media-video/ati-drivers ~your_arch
to /etc/portage/package.keywords (create this file if it does not exist).

This is a bug with the drivers and kernel 2.6.10 (pci_find_class is
supposed to be pci_get_class, or vice-versa).
Anyway, there is a patch available on the rage3D forums (

Linux project manager of ATI (mtippett), or just emerge the ati-drivers
