I'm confused with version numbers. I'm new to the ATI driver. |

Apparently, when you try to get a Radeon HD 3xxx driver from them, you |
| 9 |
get the 8.12 driver. |
| 10 |
However, when you try to get a FirePro V5700 driver, you get the 8.543 |
| 11 |
driver (called 8.54.3 on the CCC). |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Now, ebuild version numbers seem to match the 8.54.something logic. |
| 14 |
However, the 8.552 ebuild is for the 8.11 driver... |
| 15 |
What is this mess? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I don't know yet if I should file the ebuild. I called mine 8.543 and |
| 18 |
it works with the FirePro V5700 driver 8.543 (or 8.54.3). Fetch is |
| 19 |
broken, I don't know the fetch address. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
What I did was to pick the 8.542 ebuild, remove the patch for kernel |
| 22 |
2.6.27 (because the 8.543 doesn't need it) and fixed a problem which |
| 23 |
seems to cause fgl_glxgears not to compile: |
| 24 |
- glATI.h defines a constant called GL_ATI_texture_env_combine3 which |
| 25 |
collides with another defined in glext.h; by compiling fgl_glxgears |
| 26 |
with -DGL_GLEXT_LEGACY then glext.h isn't included. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
What is this mess? Are there two branches of drivers (for the Radeon |
| 29 |
and the FireGL/FirePro)? |
| 30 |
And what is the logic of the ebuild version numbers? |
| 31 |
On FreeBSD, each port has one maintainer, is there a similar thing for Gentoo? |
