[gentoo-user] Bug 246672 ATI-DRIVERS

[gentoo-user] Bug 246672 ATI-DRIVERS

[James]

I've got an ati/amd64 system that no matter what combo
of xorg-server, xorg-x11 and ati-drivers, I cannot get 
it to work.

lspci shows:
00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc 
RD580 [CrossFire Xpress 3200] 
Chipset
Host Bridge
00:02.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI-X Root Port
00:06.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 PCI Bridge

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 
R580 [Radeon X1900 XT](Primary)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc 
R580 [Radeon X1900 XT] (Secondary)


It all worked fine until an update a few days ago.

I do not need the latest version of anything just something that works.


Any suggestions are most appreciated

Currently the system is booted and kde is working but I removed
ati-drivers trying to fix it. Now I cannot get any version of
ati-drivers to work, despite trying the latest ideas in bug 246672.


Any help is appreciated. Precise version numbers of xorg-server
xorg-x11 and ati-drivers is what I really need. Just advise
on a combo that works with a r580 chipset.....

OK, I've got the first 3, but, dozens of versions of ati-drivers
borks, when I try to install them. Here's the error message from
8.552-r2:

So what did I miss?

Got the first 3/4

ati-drivers will not compile, any version. Here is the 
errors from 8.552-r2 :

You need to delete all broken symlinks followed by an 'eselect opengl 
xorg-x11'.

I finally got 8.552-r2 installed and working using the latest
information from bug 246672. This is the 3rd posting to the
list (via Gmane) so appologies in advance if anyone get's 
multiple copies. Gmane does not show these multiple postings..

[gentoo-user] Bug 246672 ATI-DRIVERS

[James]

Hello,

One of my (ati) systems has been screwed up a few days now because of
bug 246672.

Long story short, I have no ati-drivers installed and when I try to
emerge it, I get:

Cannot write to '/usr/lib32/opengl/ati/extensions'
Please check permissions and directories for broken symlinks


Obviously, I've tried all sorts of things but 
ati-drivers-8.552-r2 just won't compile.


any pearls of wisdom here, particulary, exact syntax
to get a working X (kde) would been keen.

Yes, I've tried several things from the aforementioned bug,
and that why my system is now very broken.....


???

I wrote the solution in bug 247685.  Problem is, an ebuild update can't 
fix it.  You have to fix it yourself.  See comment 11 in that bug.
