Re: New ATI fglrx drivers work with AMD64

[Max <relf@unn.ac.ru>]

Jan,

I did the same things except that I copied fglrx32 libraries from the actual debian-i386 installation and used 'apt-get install' within chroot for the rest required packages (e.g., xlibs etc.). I also mounted tmpfs from within chroot (not from outside like you did) with the command 'mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev/shm'.

And now DOOM 3 runs under my debian-amd64!!! Speed is not worse than under debian-i386.
There are still some problems though that require further investigation. In particular, it hang up when I tried to load a saved game. Anyway it's a good start ;)

Regards,
Max
