Ati-drivers-10.8 does not compile with latest stable gentoo-sources-2.6.34-r11 (2.6.34-r6 was fine...)

Please check bug 336467 it is the same error. The solution is easy: update to ati-drivers-10.9-r1 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 336467 ***
Not possible to upgrade to 10.9, unfortunately: 10.9 has an annoying bug which prevents me from using it, please see http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1937
It happens to me too sometimes, but only when composite is enabled. Well you can just rename the ati-drivers-10.9-r1 ebuild to 10.8. You will get 10.8 driver but patched for the compact_alloc_userspace issue. I'm not sure this is going to work, but it is worth a try :)
I did it and it works so far (10.8 driver inside 10.9-r1 ebuild, composite extension on, x86_64 with multilib).
Yeah, thanks! 10.9-r1 ebuild copied as a 10.8-r1 works... the patch in question should be backported to all ati-drivers versions in portage!!!

Ok, I can understand that; and the workaround is easy enough for them who can't / do not want to use 10.9.

Let's hope ati-drivers 10.10 will have that issue solved (the one in comment #4 ), but i think we will have to wait may be even at 10.12. It taked 3 release to solve the artifacts bug affecting 10.6 fixed in 10.9
