Description Magnus Ahlberg 2007-11-29 09:43:09 UTC

Currently, xorg-server blocks ati-drivers because of ABI incompatability.
However, since ati-drivers-8.42.3, the driver is compatible with Xorg 7.3 (xorg-server-1.4) so the block should affect only driver versions lower than 8.42.3.

Reproducible: Always

  xorg-server-1.4-r2.ebuild:
  Re-add binary ATI/AMD driver support for 8.433 and newer (Jory Pratt)

As you can see this is already fixed.

Yes xorg-server now pulls in ati-drivers if the useflag fglrx is set but line 271 unconditionally blocks ati-drivers.

Thanks, fixed. I was only looking for lines w/ fglrx in them and missed that one.
