Google for "flgrx and debian" -- on a site something.libero.it you'll
find a guy has packaged (an old version) for debian.
It's fairly straightforward to hack his scripts for any version. They
download the RPM, a readme file, and a bugs file from a web site --
comment it out. Then download the rpm, readme, and bugs files from
ATI's site, and edit the debian/rules file to point to those. There's a
variable for the driver version to change, and you also need to edit
other files in debian/control to get the version right.
It's not hard once you do it once.
