It is almost impossible to keep that straightened. There are four drivers that ati.2 replace and XFree86 will overwrite them everytime. The only thing I can think of when we are in beta or RC stage like now, is to add ati.2 to urpmi skiplist and them update them separately. At any rate, ati.2 won't be updated again until after 9.1 final but if Frederic updates XFree86 again, you'll have to reinstall ati.2.
Would it work to have the files %config(noreplace) in ati.2 and then would XFree86 not overwrite them?
Ok, not really have followed this thread but:
Perhaps with some dirty rpm hackery you can solve this:
use a trigger script that will copy the correct driver to the correct place again upon xfree install/update?
This is probably the really correct solution.
