or 8-01 as the package is called... Has anyone tried them yet?
With a bit of tweaking the previous ebuild, I managed to install them.
So far they're no worse than 8.40.4 (8.443.1 is unusable for me because
I have a 1680x1050 resolution which the driver doesn't support!), but
they're not as good as the glory days of 8.3?.? where I had much greater
fps and GL screensavers actually worked.
Anyway, I'm seeing this when I run glxgears:
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
And this when I run fgl_glxgears:
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 161 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)
Serial number of failed request: 30

There are a few X errors too:

so I'm having a few issues. Of course, 3D performance is horrible.
I've tried searching various forums, but I can't find anything that
fixes the dri error. I've checked xorg.conf has "Load dri" and
Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection
and also `eselect opengl set ati` has been done.
any help would greatly appreciated! thanks!
