Since support for a lot of radeon chipsets was dropped from > x11-drivers/ati-drivers-12.4 (See bug #419493) it would be nice to have a separate ebuild (like x11-drives/ati-legacy) for users who still use those chipsets or maybe a legacy slot in x11-drivers/ati-drivers. This is especially needed because fixes may be necessary to make the driver work with newer kernels (See #436130) Reproducible: Always
We have ati-drivers-12.6_beta_pre897 ("12.6 Legacy") for legacy hardware in tree and we have no plans for packaging anything older. Once it goes stable in bug 433665, version 12.4 will be dropped.

From the AMD support page it appears so: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/catalyst126legacyproducts.aspx
