You can try this patch: http://phorogit.com/index.php?p=fglrx-packaging.git&dl=plain&h=a94205d6bb86dbf154c3e519b6da869c529cafe4 works with ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64.run won't work with the new xorg 7.4 (but intrepid seems to have it working); probably won't work with patch -p1 < * manually adding the patch works. should work with the latest git (at least a week ago); regards; -- Justin P.
