I went to compile the proprietary drivers today from the ati-drivers emerge, but nothing up to and including 8.582 will compile do to error:
* The die message: * ati-drivers-8.582 requires support for pci_find_slot. There is a bug about this here: http://bugs.gentoo.org/248118 but oddly enough it's status is "RESOLVED" even though it's not. I don't know if this error exists upstream or not, but I may try installing the 9.3 version from ATI just to find out (if I can get through it). I know the Debian version in "squeeze" works but it's a newer version as far as I can tell (version numbers are really inconsistent). Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way around it without turning on PCI_LEGACY in the kernel? Harry Holt, PMP
