ati released new drivers that now support xorg-7.1 Release notes: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.27.10.html
Created attachment 93036 [details] Ebuild based on 8.26.18 ebuild that is in portage
This EBuild installed for me after removing the Block from xorg-server-1.1.1.ebuild. Though it was correctly build, xorg-7.1 didn't start, complaining about the driver being built against the xorg-6.8 ABI. Manual installation of the ati-drivers 8.27.10 package works fine.
Created attachment 93107 [details] Ebuild based on one in portage Fixed basedir variable to build for xorg 7.1
Created attachment 93132 [details] Updated xorg-server-1.1.1 for ati-drivers
Created attachment 93141 [details] Updated xorg-server ebuild Fixed dependency for ati-drivers. The ebuild that was uploaded previously had ">=x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10" in the dependency list which will force xorg-server to always install ati-drivers. Changed to "!<x11-drivers/ati-dirvers-8.27.10" so that it preserves the block the way it should.

I think the code in http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=93107 : ------------------------------------------------------ #new modular X paths, 0 is a workaround. if has_version "x11-base/xorg-server"; then BASE_DIR="${WORKDIR}/x710" xlibdir="xorg" else ------------------------------------------------------ is wrong , when emerge =ati-drivers-8.27.10 using xorg-x11-7.0 . Because xorg-x11-7.0 should use drivers under BASE_DIR="${WORKDIR}/x690". But I have not tested it. So ,take a look at this ebuild. I have tested using xorg-x11-7.0 and xorg-x11-7.1. Attachment
Created attachment 93245 [details] ebuild should work well with both xorg-7.0 and 7.1
Comment on attachment 93107 [details] Ebuild based on one in portage Obsoleted by the more recently uploaded one.
Created attachment 93332 [details] Correction to previous ebuild The uploaded version (which was meant to allow it to be built for either xorg-7 or xorg-7.1) still had the xorg-server block in it. This is identical to that version except for the block being removed. Can verify that it installs w/ 7.1.
Hey all; I've been tackling various ati-drivers ebuild short-comings here: bug #139458. I was wondering if anyone using xorg-7.1 and the ati-drivers 8.27.10 drivers wanted to test? It should work the same as this one here, but it has various/many fixes with the ebuild, all documented at the bug. The ebuild does some patching wrt 'acpi' USE flag, so if you're using that, and decide to test, make sure to grab the files there that need to go into ${FILESDIR}.
where's the powermode patch? i don't seem to have it...
It's here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=91205 ... but as of today, the ebuild, and all related patches are *finally* in the tree, so you can emerge --sync and get it too.
