I was just following discussion where user upgraded his ati-drivers and they suddently stopped working.. he was misleaded by description so..

Since 8.30.x series ATi dropped support for Radeons from 7000 to 9250. Those are so called r2** cards. 

Suggested new DESCRIPTION="ATi binary drivers for r300 and up."

Ebuilds affected:

ati-drivers-8.30.3-r1.ebuild:DESCRIPTION="Ati precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets"
ati-drivers-8.30.3.ebuild:DESCRIPTION="Ati precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets"
ati-drivers-8.32.5.ebuild:DESCRIPTION="Ati precompiled drivers for r350, r300, r250 and r200 chipsets"
