I don't know about git, but I have a Sapphire HD5770 1GB, using
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.9, x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.3.901, with
2.6.37-gentoo sources (~amd64 and no-multilib) without problems.

[gentoo-user] xf86-video-ati from git?

2011-01-20 Thread Mark Knecht 
Hi,
   I'm interested in how I would go about getting the xf86-video-ati
package from git? I would like to try the newest driver, if possible,
as it is apparently the reason I don't have 3d rendering enabled on my
HD5750 Evergreen card.

   Is there a good Wiki on how to do this? Also, how does one match a
video driver from git with the right version of xorg-server, etc. I'm
currently using 1.9.2. I see there are ~mad64 versions of 1.9.3 in
portage but I don't know if I need them.

Thanks,
Mark
