Any ideas?
There are many bugs listed on line but very few resolutions.

yes, the driver is from the stone ages. Since binary drivers like ati's can't
really be recompiled they become incompatible with newer kernel releases over
time. In fact no released ati driver is compatible with 2.6.29 at the moment.
Even the latest one (out for weeks but still not in portage), need a patch to
compile against 2.6.29.
So you have several possible ways to go:
- stay with the old, buggy driver and an old kernel.
- install a slightly newer driver and use 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
- download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/238417338/ati-drivers.tbz
unpack in your overlay/x11-drivers directory (probably /usr/local/portage/x11-
drivers)
add =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.612 ** to /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge the drivers.
That said, the ati driver versions in portage are all outdated. This sucks A
LOT. And that a driver that is very buggy, whose ebuild was buggy and who is
from somewhere summer/fall last year is hilarious - in a very sad way.

oh - if you go with the overlay route. The safe way to update is:
stop X
eselect opengl set xorg-x11
emerge -C ati-drivers
emerge ati-drivers
eselect opengl set ati
reboot
(because when restarting X it tends to lock up for some people).

and both are busy. You really don't need to bother them. There are bugs open
about it. If you want to be helpfull, become a dev. But telling them that the
stable drivers are outdated doesn't help them.

1. This is a fresh install from 2008.0 with no previous drivers.
2. How can i get access to fix this in Portage? (Since that's the
underlying issue).
3. Do we know who maintains this (ATI has a member but are they on this
list?).

There doesn't exist a Catalyst for Linux release yet that support kernel
2.6.29. Even if you install the latest version (9.5), it won't work.

1. then just install the ebuild. Read up on 'overlays' on how to deal with
ebuilds from outside of the tree. This is covered in the documentation.
2. you need to become a dev, if you want to 'fix' things in the tree.
3. in each package directory is a file called 'metadata.xml' where the devs
are listed.
4. further information:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266819
5. even more information:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL+ati-drivers
6. if you have compilation problems always check bugzilla first. There is a
pretty good chance somebody hit the problem earlier and reported it and
someone else left a workaround or fix in the comments.
7. please don't top post

it works with a patch.
everything you need can be found in bugzilla.

The patch results in the driver issuing a warning about "kernel data
malformed/corrupted" (something like that, but sounds pretty serious) at
a rate of about a dozen per second (check with dmesg). After a few
hours, it locks up. Also, the log files grow out of proportions due to
the warning flood.

a) depends on your settings
b) the warning seems to harmless because
c) I have uptimes of days with that driver without problems.
