Description Josh G 2008-04-11 14:34:20 UTC
Upstream renamed the driver from xf86-video-amd to xf86-video-geode with the most recent version (2.8.0).  

Creating directory x11-drivers/xf86-video-geode and renaming the current ebuild to xf86-video-geode-2.8.0.ebuild works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Note that in about 4-5 days I'm able to take over maintenance of this driver, as I'm in the process of getting a full Gentoo installed for it in a USB HDD and I work with Geode hardware daily at work, while the rest of x11@ probably doesn't have the hardware, just blind bumps.

That isn't to say this particular bump should be waiting on me. I'll just be able to test this as well within a week.
Curious what hardware you have :p

I'm using a "PepperPad3".  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_Pad
The company went bust but the hardware is still cool.  

It's a widescreen device so until the last version or two, needed some patching to work properly.  I've only tested xorg-server 1.3 so far as I've been fighting with updating the rest of the drivers.  (Boy is my C rusty.)

Mart, feel free to take over and do the latest bump. I've had it in my todo list for a little while.

Hmm, I must have not committed before. This is now done and xf86-video-geode-2.9.0 is in the tree, and xf86-video-amd is gone with a pkg move to xf86-video-geode for hopefully automatic upgrade across package name.
Thanks
