I just did this yesterday from ATI's installer available from their website. ATI's installer can create packages for debian automatically, or it can extract its files (to let you patch them) and then let you run a script that builds debian packages. So here's the instructions: $ ./ati-driver-installer-8.12.7-x86_64.run --extract fglrx-tmp $ cd fglrx-tmp $ cd common/lib/modules apply the patch from http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/11/26 which lets the kernel module work with Kernel 2.6.15 $ cd - $ fakeroot ./packages/Debian/ati-packager.sh --buildpkg sid # rm -rf /usr/src/modules/fglrx /usr/src/fglrx.tar.bz2 dpkg -i the debs, use module-assistant to build the kernel module and you're good to go. (Don't forget to modprobe -r fglrx; modprobe fglrx before you start X again.) NOTE: it is no longer necessary to patch the fglrx directory to tell it that Debian/sid uses X.org 6.9.0. ATI already knows this and the current version of the installer knows it too. --Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment.
