Gentoo

General Status

• Included with Distribution

See the webindex of the Gentoo package repository for stable/unstable status of the package. It may be useful to use the keyword ~x86 ( or ~amd64 for 64 bit installations) specifically for the x11-drivers/ati-drivers package to get the newest version, since the Gentoo stable / unstable distinction does not always make much sense here.

As of now (February 2009) you may end up in dependency hell, since older ATI drivers dont compile with recent kernel sources, and newer ATI drivers require unstable X... See Gentoo Version Limitations for more info.
