Description thomasg 2011-03-31 22:55:38 UTC
Ebuild for the latest AMD/ATI proprietary graphics driver, fglrx 8.840.
This driver is not officially available but provided publicly to the Ubuntu distribution.

This ebuild is based on older ati-drivers ebuilds, but as some things have changed there have been certain removals.
Mostly no longer needed workarounds and functions for no longer existing applications.

As of this changes, I removed compatibility functions for older releases which makes the ebuild only work with this release.

This ebuild removes compatibility for older releases, because I expect that starting with 11.4 it will keep working with newer ones that don't require the removed workarounds and there is no point in checking for even more different versions and having a ton of conditions in when the old ebuild contains them anyway and it won't be needed in future anymore.

Included is a build fix for fglrx needed for this and 11.3, stolen from x11-overlay :)

Reproducible: Always
