8.12 is the official number. 8.54 and stuff like that are internal numbers. > > Now, ebuild version numbers seem to match the 8.54.something logic. > However, the 8.552 ebuild is for the 8.11 driver... > What is this mess? as I said, the package name is the public version number, the ebuild name is the internal version number - the driver itself says 8.552 in the logs. Just do this: kill X eselect opengl set xorg-x11 emerge -C ati-drivers emerge =ati-drivers-8.552-r2 (for 8.11 - you don't miss anything when you wait some days for the 8.12 ebuild) eselect opengl set ati reboot
