Also the created fglrx-amdcccle package, that shall replace fglrx-control, is empty (just as note for you, Flavio
The AMD installer is not maintained by Flavio, but by me. Flavio maintains the official Debian packages only, which are still at 8.28 as far as I can see. Do not bother him with ati-installer problems, as it is not his responsibility and he probably does not want to worry about it.
- please fill it with content when packaging for Debian). Further it was announced in 8.35.5 to drop support for X.org 6.8 and XFree86 4.3 and they are still there. The "System recommendations" section you reference also mentions X.org 6.7 as supported X.org server version. So it finally seems, the ATI-Installer and the release notes are both broken.
Due to a current versioning change in Debian (and Fedora Core 7 too aparently) the fglrx driver will not load at all now. This is because it expects a server version of 7.1, but the new modular version reports 1.3.0 (xserver-xorg-core). A temporary workaround can be found at http://rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33889029 which basically binary-edits the driver to ignore the version info. Hopefully AMD will be able to fix this for the next release, but I don't know their plans. For the non-existant x720 directory, you should be able to symlink the x710 directory and build the packages just fine, but I will need to verify this. Hopefully all these issues will be addressed for the next monthly release from AMD, and I will update the ati-installer packaging scripts as needed (fixing fglrx-amdcccle for example).
