I just upgraded to xorg 7.4. Did need that now too. >> But the result isn't very good.

Unloading the fglrx kernel module allows me to restart X without problems.

I didn't either, however the ATI self extracting archive doesn't include one libglx.so for xorg 7.1 to 7.3. >> The same thing happens when I install back the 8.552 or 8.552-r1 >> ebuild.

Sorry to ask again, what is your approach to keeping xorg 7.4 installed? Using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS? I did put the lengthly list of files in package.keywords with ~amd64, but I'm not sure this is the beast approach in the long run. -- Miguel Ramos <2...@miguel.ramos.name> GnuPG ID 0xA006A14C
