Change of note : panel sources are no longer shipped in the package from ATI. As such, the ebuild should be modified to remove the qt3 use flag and everything related to it. ebuild patch to be attached.
Created attachment 123270 [details, diff] Changes from ati-drivers-8.37.6-r1.ebuild needed to build ati-drivers-8.38.6
Created attachment 123271 [details] New license for ati-drivers-8.38.6 Another change : LICENSE In 8.38.6, the license has changed - mostly to replace ATI with AMD, but also to add a new clause : (d) vii) no rights are granted to distribute the binary form of the AMD Linux Kernel Module made by linking the AMD Proprietary Kernel Library and the AMD Kernel Compatibility Layer binary compiled using Linux kernel headers; Updated license attached - suggest it be named AMD. File is from ati-driver-installer-8.38.6-x86.x86_64.run/ATI_LICENSE.TXT (yes, language of the license was changed, file name was not). Would require that ATI be changed to AMD in LICENSE list in ebuild.
Another change to LICENSE: ati-driver-installer-8.38.6-x86.x86_64.run/common/usr/share/doc/fglrx/ contains five license files - LICENSE.GPL, LICENSE.QPL, ATI_LICENSE.TXT [AMD], LICENSE.expat and LICENSE.xmlconfig. LICENSE.expat and LICENSE.xmlconfig are both 'as-is' style licenses, and the others are covered by GPL-2, QPL-1.0 and (proposed)AMD. "as-is" should be added to LICENSE in the ebuild to cover expat and xmlconfig.
Picky change : In ati-driver-8.37.6-r1.ebuild: # These are the userspace utilities that we also have source for. # We rebuild those in ati-drivers-extra. rm \ "${ARCH_DIR}"/usr/X11R6/bin/{fgl_glxgears,fglrx_xgamma} \ "${ARCH_DIR}"/usr/X11R6/${PKG_LIBDIR}/libfglrx_gamma* \ || die "bin rm failed" The comment is inaccurate - we do indeed have source for those utilities, but we don't rebuild them in ati-drivers-extra - ati-drivers-extra has not been bumped since 8.33.6 when its behaviour was (iiuc) subsumed by the ati-drivers ebuild. End result? The comment above should probably read # We rebuild those later. or something. I'll add an updated patch that covers all of this. (which will also remove a check on >=xorg-server-1.0.99 as there is no <xorg-server-1.1 in portage)

btw. 8.38.7 is a hotfix release. renaming the patched ebuild from above is sufficient and works.
Created attachment 123847 [details, diff] Changes from ati-drivers-8.37.6-r1.ebuild needed to build ati-drivers-8.38.6 One extra change : the file /etc/ati/control should be installed - it is not currently.

Any user that is still on xfree should be shot and hung by the balls in my opinions.

8.39.4 is out, changing summary.
emerge of 8.39.4 works by applying patch from Comment #9 then renaming to the appropriate version.
