Do we know who maintains this (ATI has a member but are they on this > list?). 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
