  Version bump, import of Emil Karlson's ebuild from the x11 overlay. Remove old.
Comment 2 emil karlson 2013-01-24 00:45:43 UTC 
You can test the ati-drivers legacy SLOT in x11-overlay

layman -a x11
emerge -C ati-drivers
emerge ati-drivers:legacy

I am only able to compile test them, so please tell, whether there really is support for xorg-server-1.13
Comment 3 Xinul 2013-01-24 12:37:16 UTC 
Emil,

thanks for your time, i was able to compile the legacy driver successfully, but it doesn't have support for Xorg 1.13.1 yet =/

packages,
x11-drivers/ati-drivers-13.1-r100(legacy)
x11-base/xorg-server-1.13.1.901
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.13

error,
X.Org X Server 1.13.1.901 (1.13.2 RC 1)
...
[   162.169] (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: noXFree86DRIExtension

Fatal server error:

as you can see it produces the same infamous error.

Fixed in CVS.
