The new drivers for ATI cards have been released on the 14th of July. The new version has number 3.0.2-3 latest version in portage is 2.9.12 Note that there are separate versions for each XFree release (4.3.0, 4.2.0 and 4.1.0) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
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.
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
