This driver is only 3 days old upstream. Also, eselect is not stable. My vote is a definite and resounding *no* on this. the current stable is less likely to work with linux 2.6.14 ,I tried to backport the patches but I can't say I did a perfect job since lack of time / boxes to test. I'd rather have relatively untested package (many ati betatester are using gentoo and are reporting issues that way) than a surely broken one. So you would rather us just stabilize ati-drivers and drop the eselect-opengl requirement for now? Because otherwise, there's not really a chance of this going stable as long as eselect isn't even stable.

I'd rather have relatively untested package (many ati betatester are using > gentoo and are reporting issues that way) than a surely broken one. What does betatesters have to do with stable? I agree that if you have a stable version it should work with the current stable kernel sources. Is there an issue already found with the current stable and 2.6.14? Maybe we could wait until something is reported. Something in this version 8.19.10 is crashing X Winsdows when I run two monitors - CRT and TV-out (component video). Linux versions tried are 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 and 2.6.14.2. It reports: Caught Signal 8. Server aborting This does not happen with 8.18.8 and my xorg.conf file. Commenting out the component video monitor allows X Windows to run on the CRT. This driver does not seem stable to me. could you please open a separate bug so I can send it to upstream? (changing the request seconding the report) Well, we cannot mark this stable without a stable eselect and the eselect developers don't deem it ready for stable yet. Please feel free to REOPEN once eselect goes stable. |
