Created attachment 333386 [details, diff] ati-drivers-12.6-k-3.7.0.patch ati-drivers-12.6_beta_pre897 does not compile with kernel 3.7.x x=0 / 1 It needs a patch (attached) which replaces VM_RESERVED bu VM_IO.
Why would you want to use 12.6_beta_pre897 and not something newer? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 448216 ***
12.6_beta_pre897 is the last version to support legacy Radeon hardware older than HD5000.

It's NOT a duplicate of 448216. Even with the additional patch of 448216 12.6_beta_pre897 does NOT compile for my gentoo-sources-3.7.x without the patch I have attached.

You did notice that I reopened this bug and you just marked it as duplicate again? https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_activity.cgi?id=448656

Greetings, can you try ati-drivers in x11-overlay, I added there the same patch we use for the non-legacy branch. It at least compiles for me, but I can't runtime test it trivially.
The problem was already solved with the patch in the tree (ati-drivers-vm-reserverd.patch), with the last commit the patch was removed from the ebuild, see the diff http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-12.6_beta_pre897.ebuild?r1=1.8&r2=1.9 So the solution is quite easy, just renable the missing line from the ebuild
Several changes that were made to ati-drivers ebuild but not pushed to x11 overlay got lost. I tried to re-unify the ebuilds.
