I agree. Even if this is a bug, no open source developer could be
qualified to fix it because fgrlx is closed source. If you can, report
this to ATI, otherwise, you will have to live with the problem or use
open source drivers.
That is not true. If it's in portage, you have to accept bugs against
it. If a bug is serious, then that means the package has to stay masked
if there's no workaround for it in form of a patch. And sometimes there
are patches for non-OSS software too. (This bug is not serious because
I'm the only one who can confirm it. But you're talking generally, so
this specific bug is not the point of this reply.)
ATI doesn't support Gentoo, btw. Only Ubuntu, openSUSE and some other
high-profile distros are "supported." In quotes because it's broken
even on those ;)
