Hi everyone.

I just checked Gentoo's online package list and I
couldn't find ATI GATOS video drivers. Are they
removed from portage ?

Thank for your answer in advance.

BR,
Arturas B.

It doesn't work well on my laptop. I just installed Gentoo on it, and after emerging Xfree, and the ati-gatos ebuild, xf86cfg wouldn't start. If I remember correctly, there are also issues about the names of these drivers, since the portage version doesn't use the same names as the original GATOS-drivers.

I just read the ebuild for ati-gatos. Here it is:

# Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.

# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/media-video/ati-gatos/ati-gatos-4.2.0.11-r1.ebuild,v 1.6 2002/10/24 23:23:45 blizzy Exp $

cd ${S}/lib/modules/drivers

for x in *.o
do
newins ${x} gatos-${x}
done
}

pkg_postinst() {
einfo "To ensure that the drivers distributed with XFree86 do not"
einfo "get over written with the ones distributed with this package,"
einfo "\"gatos-\" is pre-pended to all the drivers. This means that"
einfo "for instance, \"ati_drv.o\" have become \"gatos-ati_drv.o\","
einfo "and that \"gatos-ati\" should be used in your XF86Config."
}

I hope this is helpful.

See, that was what I was talking about. What would be cool were if the ebuild could back up the XFree-drivers, and create these symlinks for me. Or at least point it out in the ebuild that it had to be done.
