Brings kernel 2.6.37 support and maybe a tear-free desktop option Please add it to the tree.

I'll attach the ebuild I used to install on my system, removing the use of the 2.6.36/2.6.37 patches plus a patch about allowing fglrx to compile, as I assume its all working now.

Thank you. I already sent an ebuild to lu_zero. I guess he is busy for now, he didn't answered. I think it will be bumped as soon as lu_zero will have time :)
I dont think you can use the AMD 69XX series cards without this driver. I've tried to use the attached ebuild (i have a 6970) , and i'ts failed to compile, not sure what i'm doing wrong, can someone explain how to use it?

The ebuild works perfectly fine.
69xx are usable even with 10.12, just an annoying "unsupported hardware" watermark is on the screen.Is the watermark gone with this version? I'm hesitating as to messing with this ebuild or waiting till it hits the tree.
afaik it is still there, but it should go out with 11.2 i think
I've used this ebuild with my 6970 and the watermark is not there.
11.2 is released today.
Thank you for the news. I packaged and tested it. A little mod in the ebuild is needed, they moved a folder and now provide the same binary for all Xorg 7.* versions. I also sent the ebuild to lu_zero. Cheers
thanks, can you add your ebuild here?
