New ATI drivers have come out.
ati-driver-8.38.6 have become available since June 25. Is it too late to get this as a default for Sabayon 3.4 final?? There have been some nice fixes to the drivers themselves as well as the catalyst.

P.S. Can we get this in the overlay soon?? Sorry, I don't mean to sound so demanding. I depend heavily on ATI. Its all I have. I have 2 computers all ATI, my lappy with X200M, and the computer I'm building with 256mb ATI X300 overclocked diamond edition.

Thanx for the drivers, but I have to ask.... Where is the cataylst???

I know the catalyst should come with these drivers. Is the ebuild incorrectly configured??

the catalyst?

by **Darksurf** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 21:51

yeah, its the icon on the desktop that leads to the configure app that uses a GUI.

ATI Catalyst is basically the control center for the videocard settings.

There's the AMD Control Center for Linux.

by **Darksurf** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 22:01

yeah, I know that. That is the app with the name amdcccle a.k.a. AMD Control Center a.k.a. ATI Catalyst. I used to be able to run amdcccle in a terminal and it would run, but when I emerge the new ati-drivers 8.38.6 I don't get that file anywhere. I even used kuroo to look up if it installed that file or not. Its not installed. Its not even listed. I think there's something wrong with the ebuild.

It gave me the driver but not the control center.

maybe this is his 'linux' name but i'm not sure ... is not installed in my system ...

my wish is that commands like

Code: Select all: qlist x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra

to work with noninstalled packages also .... sweet dreams .... :oops:
