8.12 is the official number. 8.54 and stuff like that are internal numbers. |

as I said, the package name is the public version number, the ebuild name is |
| 22 |
the internal version number - the driver itself says 8.552 in the logs. |

Just do this: |
| 26 |
kill X |
| 27 |
eselect opengl set xorg-x11 |
| 28 |
emerge -C ati-drivers |
| 29 |
emerge =ati-drivers-8.552-r2 (for 8.11 - you don't miss anything when you wait |
| 30 |
some days for the 8.12 ebuild) |
| 31 |
eselect opengl set ati |
| 32 |
reboot |
