Bug 99285 – [PATCH]: Neatly fix ati-drivers for kernel 2.6.12 and gcc-4

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Lauria 2005-07-16 20:53:56 UTC]

Hi. This patch, posted by user matteo at Rage3d
(http://rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1333794852&postcount=1) fixes fglrx
compilation with both 2.6.12 kernels _and_ gcc-4 (though to fix gcc4 copy
libfglrx_ip.a.GCC3 to libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4).

I'm not sure if it works with kernels prior to 2.6.12, so the ebuild writer must
use a if-statement or something.

If this is the wrong place for patches then I'm sorry, dunno where else to put it...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:





Run the patch in the fglrx/build_mod directory `patch -p1 < ../path_to_patch`

Since it's not really a `bug` per se, I will close this upon accept/denial of patch.

what does have in addition to the ones that are already applied? Once I'm back
in Italy I'll have a look

Please verify with 8.16

Matthew; with 8.16 this patch is no longer necessary. Thanks for you & your
team's great work.
