[gentoo-user] ati-driver for xorg-1.8.0 ?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

while ati-drivers-8.721 is working just fine with xorg-server-1.7.6
it is blocked by the recent xorg-server-1.8.0 .
Is there a more recent version of the ati-drivers, already?

Many thank for some info,
Helmut.

well you could use the git (-9999) version works perfectly here.
you need to unmask it in /etc/portage/package.unmask

there is no git version for ati drivers

and there is currently no ati driver supporting 1.8.

Luckily nothing is lost - 1.8 is in a bad state - even most of Xorg's own 
drivers don't support it yet.
