ATI driver conflict with xorg-server

Doing this on phone as chromium update still going (in console mode).

Ati-drivers-15.12-r1 requires xorg-server-1.17.4 or less, yet world update
insists on pulling in xorg-server-1.8 which then pulls in masked versions
of xf86-input-evdev & xf86-video-ati & and the emerge dies because the 2
versions of xorg-server can't co-exist.

I want ati-drivers as my led screen does not look good with basic radeon
driver.

I am wondering why masked versions are being pulled in as nothing in
package.accept_keywords nor package.unmask

In world I just have xorg-x11 meta package. I'm wondering if I should
replace that with specific packages. The ebuild does not suggest its
pulling in the 1.8 version, but I may be miss-reading it.

I have manually installed the latest stable versions of the affected
packages & expect it to work.
