try this, what I did:
I built the packages as normal. (ati.........run --buildpkg Debian/sid)
Then I used the midgnight commander to look into the packags and copied all
the files manaully into the right position (fglrx-driver).
Then I built the kernel-module with make-kpkg and installed ist manually on
the same way.
To test it, I moved /etc/init.d/kdm out of the way, to avoid its start at
reboot.
O.k., so far so good. Now I oaded the fglrx kernel-module with modconf.
It loaded fine.
After this I stopped kdm and from the consol I started X using startx. So I
could see errors, but everything went fine.
After this, I copied kdm back, and installed the packages fglrx-driver and the
built kernel-module ith dpkg -i, to let them known in the database.
Yes, it is a dirty way, but also this is a dirty driver !
I hope, this helps. And do not laugh: This worked for me.
You can check it with fglrxinfo in X.
fgl_glgears will not work. glxgears does work, but you will get no
results shown.
Good luck !
Hans
