Per http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx , Catalyst 12.8 has been released. However, do note that the URL to the driver file has changed. The correct link is http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-8-x86.x86_64.zip , which ends with a .zip suffix, as opposed to .run. Please update the ebuild accordantly. Please update x11-drivers/ati-drivers to 12.8. Thanks.
Also, please drop ati-drivers-old_rsp.patch since it is already covered in the updated module source. Thanks.

I can confirm I've just installed this for my 7950 and it works fine.
+ 09 Sep 2012; Rick Farina <zerochaos@gentoo.org> +ati-drivers-12.8.ebuild, + +files/ati-drivers-x32_something_something.patch, + +files/ati-powermode-opt-path-3.patch: At this time this commit is a merger between this bug, the ebuild in the x11 overlay, and my own works. The gentoo tree is the most up to date as of this time. Thanks to zhoujingmiller for the powermode patch update, I like it and accepted it. Of special note, although this bug and x11 overlay dropped old_rsp patch I *did not*. Only part of this patch was merged upstream and I believe the second part is still required (and may fix x32 users). So crossed my fingers and commited. thanks to Ke for helping me understand the changes in the x11 overlay and special thanks to mrueg for actually testing the driver works (I lack the hardware).
