Not just an evil bump request. I've updated the ebuild for this and added a patch for 2.6.29 from Debian. It only came out today so not tested much but so far, so good. Just copy the existing patches 8.582 to 8.593.

Got some issue here, not quite sure what to make of it: When launching Neverwinter Nights, the program crashes with the error X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 160 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 18 Current serial number in output stream: 18 Not quite sure what to make of it. I didn't have this problem with ati-drivers-8.561. Enemy Territory hangs during startup sequence, but throws no visible errors. revdep-rebuild shows no new broken dependencies.

Hmm, obviously there's something more than just these two programs affected. When playing a video with mplayer I have lots of tearing which I didn't have before, and when returning from fullscreen playback the system froze hard. Before the last reboot glxgears didn't work, throwing a similar error message to nwn, now glxgears runs without problems. Strange. I also noticed I couldn't activate EXA in the xorg.conf, X seems to ignore it completely. What's wrong with my setup?
Please attach unified diffs (diff -u) when you did changes to an ebuild. That would be much more handy for our devs.
Created attachment 186570 [details, diff] ati-drivers.ebuild.patch Got it. dark_mail@gmx.net, try "eselect opengl set ati". For some reason, mine always reverts back to xorg-x11 after installing this.
It already is on "ati". I even rebooted afterwards ... :-)
I'd wait for a bit before putting this driver (and this patch) in, hopefully upstream will handle the .29 transition in a cleaner fashion
The attached patches and ebuilds work great on 2.6.29. I see no reason why we should wait for 9.4 and skip 9.3.
It'll be another month before they release again and more importantly, this is the last release to ever support R300-R500 hardware. I say the patches should stay.
I've found out something curious: When using ati-drivers-8.593, glxinfo returns "ATI" as glx vendor string. However, with version 8.561, to which I have reverted, the glx vendor string is "SGI". The OpenGL vendor string still read "ATI". Any clue if that means something?

Identity thief??
For people who is having troubles with OpenGL applications and amdccle: Libraries like libGL.so.1.2 changed their location but the old ebuild (in my case 8.582) is not deleting them. So you have to uninstall manually. It was in /usr/lib/xorg/ and now is in /usr/lib/opengl/ati/lib/. It is also valid to those who has /usr/lib32 and 64 dirs. Perhaps reinstall the 8.593 can be needed. In case it solved almost all of my problems but one: fgl_glxgears opens just a black window but no gears at all. One of my CPU gets 100% and no performance is shown in the terminal too.
Sorry, that didn't solve my problem. "locate libGL.so" now outputs the following files and links: /usr/lib32/libGL.so /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib32/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib32/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/libGL.so /usr/lib64/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/opengl/ati/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib64/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.so.1 mplayer still shows lots of tearing during playback and nwn crashes on load. Do I need some special kernel/Xorg config options or certain versions to make it work?
Check your installation. This file -> FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 should NOT exist anymore. Verify your links too. These should be soft links: /usr/lib32/libGL.so /usr/lib64/libGL.so Also you should have the same files as soft links for /usr/lib/libGL.so too Check the dates of those files. If do not uninstall the old driver before to install the new one you may finish with old libraries mixed with the new ones.
(In reply to comment 15) I cleaned it up the hard way. (Note to self: Don't _ever_ delete libraries that are currently used by the system. Can make things quite complicated.) Unfortunately, that didn't solve the problem. And it's getting a bit more complicated: I can successfully run Freespace SCP, so opengl is working, windowed and in fullscreen. I got mplayer to behave after I switched the video output from xv to opengl. So this leaves nwn, and I slowly come to believe that it's the game to blame more than the ati driver. BTW: Is there some minimum kernel requirement apart from being 2.6.x? Mine is 2.6.27, and after I upgraded xorg-server to 1.5.3 today that is also ruled out as a troublemaker, toggling the compositing manager on and off also didn't change anything.

The following might be of some interest to all ATI fans: "AMD Catalyst 9.3 For Linux Brings OpenGL Composite Support" --> Means that Compiz Fusion will finally work with proper composite stretching/mapping on 3d surfaces. i.e. MAJOR release. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_catalyst93_composite&num=1 Also of relevance: "Beginning next month with the Catalyst 9.4 release, support for the R300/400/500 generations of graphics processors will be dropped from AMD's mainline ATI driver" http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_r500_legacy&num=1 Not to try to rush things, but it would be great to get this ebuild into the main tree, so that R300-R500 series cards can still benefit from Catalyst 9.3 and recent working software that they can still build this driver against.
If this (or a future) version gets into the tree, can the version please be changed? Instead of "ati-drivers-8.593", we should use "ati-drivers-9.3". We couldn't do this previously (with Catalyst 8.x versions) because they were lower than the internal 2D driver version and portage wouldn't find updates. Now that Catalyst changed to 9.x (with 9.1 being the first), we can drop the old versioning and use the official one. Makes it a lot less confusing.
Compiled and tested the above ebuilds. 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 x86_64. Using X200 Mobility. Compiling/Installation worked great. No tearing, xvideo works great, opengl 3.0 is there. Videos can play in OpenGL fine (though vlc crashes oddly when stopping a video that was playing with their OpenGL module). Games in OpenGL work just as good as in the previous release (including wine, etc, etc). I'm compiling compiz-fusion at the moment. Hope this feedback helps!

I have some more information on these drivers: compiz_fusion works wounders. When playing videos on opengl surfaces, they finally get rotated/stretched properly. (This must be the composite and opengl 3.0 at work). I have an interesting problem with fgl_glxgears actually (with or without compiz)... I figure that this belongs to upstream, but i'll describe it in case others are experiencing it too, before we push to CVS: fgl_glxgears, when run on my system without any parameters, displays nothing but black (and the GPU usage and popup window start regardless). If I use the -fbo option, (which the help describes as using GL_EXT_framebuffer_object instead of GLX_SGIX_pbuffer), it renders correctly. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Mine is an R200-R500 series card.
It works for me but I think I saw similar issues with fgl_glxgears reported at Phoronix. If that's the worst problem you've encountered, consider yourself very lucky!

Small status update: After a rebuild ordeal (reemergen world, ~850 packages) to rule out any problems with the transition from gcc 4.1 to 4.3, and upgrading to kernel 2.6.29-gentoo-r1, I basically still got the same problems: none of the games that use opengl work, I constantly get the following message: Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0xa) in reply type 0x0! X Error of failed request: 0 Major opcode of failed request: 0 () Serial number of failed request: 0 Current serial number in output stream: 10 mplayer still shows horribly torn video, and now that I've switched to a new kernel, I can't simply downgrade to the working ati-driver. I just hope the radeon(hd)-driver gets some 3D support for my card so I can completely get off this mess of a driver. (Sorry for the ranting, but after about 24 hours of compiling and struggling with related problems I had to blow some steam off.) I can post my present emerge --info, but the one I posted earlier should still be valid, except the kernel and gcc versions.
Catalyst 9.3 does not support kernel 2.6.29. Only up to 2.6.28. Yes, there's a 3rd party patch for 2.6.29, but it's no guarantee. The driver works flawlessly here (Radeon HD4870) with 2.6.28-r4 and X.Org 1.5.3. Also, instead of upgrading the driver, try to first remove it and then install the new one with deleting /etc/ati in between and all that while X isn't running. So boot into text mode first (append "softlevel=boot" in the grub kernel parameters) and then: emerge -C ati-drivers modprobe -r fglrx rm -r /lib/modules/VERSION/video/fglrx.ko rm -r /etc/ati emerge ati-drivers Also make sure you have xorg.conf setup correctly: aticonfig --initial The reboot.
In reply to #26: Thanks, your step-by-step manual worked! :-) Opengl apps now work, even under 2.6.29, despite throwing an error on startup of the programs: Xlib: sequence lost (0x10000 > 0xa) in reply type 0x1! But after that they run (haven't tested stability yet). When using mplayer with xv or gl as video output, I still get torn video, gl2 looks fine, but IMHO output looks a bit sluggish. Other video output either don't work or mess up X. Thanks again for the help! :-D
2.6.27-r8, Xorg 1.5, X1300 (RV515) install & work fine, tested in: googleearth, warzone2100, mplayer: xv gl gl2
I don't want to be kindless but when this driver will hit portage tree? This is a very important release couse it is the last for r300-r500 based cards and is more a months this driver is out. And it also ships opengl composite support (finally). There is even the 9.4 out (See bug #266819)
Just for reference, this version of the ATi drivers causes all windows and icons in Civilization 4 (through Wine) to constantly keep flashing as if they are refreshing over and over.
Is in Portage...closing.
