Hi all the instructions on the ATI site about forcing the installation of the .deb created using alien embody almost everything that I don't like about RPM based systems and why I changed from RHL to Debian many years ago.
The fglrx .deb file produced by alien creates a file conflict so dpkg then refuses to upgrade libmesa etc later. Instructions in other posts will fix things for you. But for the benefit of others.... rather than following the ATI instructions, do the following (from http://www.nanonanonano.net/linux/debiannx7010 :) # alien fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm # dpkg-divert --package fglrx --divert /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2.libmesa-gl \ /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 # dpkg -i fglrx_4.3.0-4.7_i386.deb And remember that with fglrx under debian, you need to manually compile the kernel module for fglrx (and it doesn't compile cleanly on debian systems, so there is some editing of Makefiles to do *sigh*). This all seems to be automated (completely untested by me but it sure looks good!) in some deb packages from Flavio Stanchina: http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html good luck!
