ati fglrx and xorg 7.0.0
Hi all,
I tried to install ati driver after upgrading my Debian/etch to xorg
7.0.0. There are three ways to do that as fas I know:
_1._ The installer from ATI. It gives me:
# ./ati-driver-installer-8.24.8-x86.run
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Detected configuration:
Architecture: i686 (32-bit)
X Server: Xorg 7.0.0
Detected version of X does not have a matching 'x700' directory
You may override the detected version using the following syntax:
X_VERSION=<xdir> ./ati-driver-installer-<ver>-<arch>.run [--install]
The following values may be used for <xdir>:
x410 XFree86 4.1.x
x420 XFree86 4.2.x
x430 XFree86 4.3.x
x680 X.Org 6.8.x
x690 X.Org 6.9.x
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install

I tried something like:
./ati-driver-installer-8.24.8-x86.run --buildpkg Debian/sid
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

On the step it crashes:

_3._ The "standard" Debian way:
# apt-get install fglrx-driver
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fglrx-driver: Depends: xserver-xorg (< 6.9.99)
E: Broken packages
So in the moment there is NO way to install fglrx drivers on debian/sid.
As said in http://www.x.org/ an advantage of xorg 7 is the modularity,
which is used in ubuntu, where already the package xorg-driver-fglrx
exists. So the question is is an analogue package for Debian, and if
not, what should I do to get fglrx installed on my laptop?
Cheers,
Ivan
