I assume you're talking about the patch "Patch for ati-drivers-8.20.8.ebuild" at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112427 To give you a hint, you need to either: 1. apply the patch to /usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ but this will be overwritten next time you sync. or 2. put it into your portage overlay. Make /usr/local/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers; copy the ati-drivers-8.22.5.ebuild original to /usr/local/portage... and apply the patch there. If you copy the digest files from the original ati-drivers dir to the overlay dir, you should be able to then `emerge -pv ati-drivers`. You will see: [ebuild R ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.22.5 USE="opengl" 0 kB [1] Total size of downloads: 0 kB Portage overlays: [1] /usr/local/portage You will see the [1] reference to the overlay. If it complains about bad md5sums or digests, you can try and fix it by playing with 'ebuild digest ...' or doing the md5sums by hand. Sorry if this is a bit rushed, post back with whatever step you get up to and I can give you more help from there. cya, -- Iain Buchanan <iain at netspace dot net dot au> There's small choice in rotten apples. -- William Shakespeare, "The Taming of the Shrew" -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
