This isn't really a bug, but I've always thought it would be a good idea to have the ati-drivers ebuilds check if the fglrx kernel module was compiled successfully, and abort if it wasn't. Since most people are going to be emerging ati-drivers in order to get 3D acceleration, and since you need the fglrx module to get 3D acceleration working, it seems like it would be a sensible thing to do. I know there is a warning displayed by the ebuild already if the compilation fails, but I've seen people on the forums having trouble getting the driver working because they haven't realised they don't have the module available. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I'd rather avoid that. I'll think about a solution (as in putting an ewarn if !opengl or a die if the flag is set)
That sounds like a better idea anyway :)
This seems to have been fixed already a long time ago. Closing, reopen if I misunderstood.
