yes, the driver is from the stone ages. Since binary drivers like ati's can't
really be recompiled they become incompatible with newer kernel releases over
time. In fact no released ati driver is compatible with 2.6.29 at the moment.
Even the latest one (out for weeks but still not in portage), need a patch to
compile against 2.6.29.
So you have several possible ways to go:
- stay with the old, buggy driver and an old kernel.
- install a slightly newer driver and use 2.6.27 or 2.6.28.
- download this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/238417338/ati-drivers.tbz
unpack in your overlay/x11-drivers directory (probably /usr/local/portage/x11-
drivers)
add =x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.612 ** to /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge the drivers.
That said, the ati driver versions in portage are all outdated. This sucks A
LOT. And that a driver that is very buggy, whose ebuild was buggy and who is
from somewhere summer/fall last year is hilarious - in a very sad way.
