Hi,
I'm running Sid 2.6.15-amd64 with an ATI Radeon 9550 card. I've had some
help from the fglrx list and have managed to get the 8.21.7 driver working.
Everything is Ok: 3D acceleration etc. xv video. The only problem I have is
that the system freezes every time I shut down the X server. FWIW, here's
the advice I received from Flavio. Maybe you won't have the freezup problem
on your systems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fglrx driver for X.Org 6.9 is not available in RPM format, so you're
out of luck with my packages. The ATI installer, however, *does* contain
binaries for 6.9 and you can build packages with it:

Besides, if you want to use it with 2.6.15 you'll need this patch:

Good luck,
Jonathan
