GOOD NEWS:

ATI released xserver 7.1 compatible drivers today!!!

BAD NEWS:

It doesnt want to install on my machine. This is what I get when I try to build it:

Code:

lappy686 build_mod # ./make.sh
ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
cleaning...
patching 'highmem.h'...
assuming new VMA API since we do have kernel 2.6.x...
 Assuming default VMAP API
doing Makefile based build for kernel 2.6.x and higher
Makefile:49: *** mixed implicit and normal rules.  Stop.
build failed with return value 2


Anyone else having problems? Anyone get it to build?

The line the build fails on is this:

Code:

%.GCC$(GCC_VER_MAJ):
        @ln -s ../$@


Any clues? Is it a problem with the variable being used (GCC_VER_MAJ)? If its any help the variable is declared earlier in the Makefile like so:

Code:

GCC_VER_MAJ      = $(shell $(CC) --version | head -n 1 | sed -e 's/[^0-9. ]//g;s/^ *//;s/^\(.\)\..*$$/\1/')

But the output of this comand is realy strange in my comp is
Code:

8664  4.1.1  4.1.1

XD (i need some time to discover this number 8664 ~ x86_64 )

Yeah I thought of that but I still get strange errors. Another thread mentions simply copying over the old ati-drivers ebuild and installing the .run file that way so thats my next step.

thanks.
