Created attachment 16022 [details]
The readme for these drivers.

This is driver version 3.2.0 according to the documentation, but it is released as 3.0.2-3 on schneider-digital.

there already is an ebuild for 3.2.0 and 3.2.4, but it is still masked, so I'm not really sure whether I should have made a bugreport for this, but I did it anyway because I am getting confused by the version numbers and dates :
 
the ebuilds (3.2.0 and 3.2.4) were dated on the 12th of July, while the driver from schneider-digital was released on the 14th of July.
I always thought that the drivers from schneider-digital are taken for the media-video/ati-drivers package. So why are the masked packages under this directory not following the version numbers from the site?

Sorry about the last post : the ebuilds for ati-drivers-3.2.0 and 3.2.4 date from the 12th of August. but the question about the version numbers remains.

[Comment 4 Luca Barbato 2003-08-15 14:09:32 UTC]

hm glxinfo should report 3.2.0 in for the ati-driver-3.2.0 and 3.2.4 for the ati-drivers-3.2.4

actually I have the 3.2.4 and I won't suggest you to use the previous 3.xx since seems to have speed issue (at least on 2.6 kernels)

I'll check a bit later

This bug can be closed, since it's already in portage.

I apologize for not looking hard enough before submitting this bug, but I did look in my portage dir and couldn't find them.
Probably cleaned them up the day before and got so overexcited because of these new drivers that I forgot all about it :/

Again, sorry to waste anyone's time.

closing it as invalid then
better one invalid in bugzilla than one valid not reported
