Re: fglrx upgrade to 8.42.3

Hi Davide,
Here's how I did it:
1. Remove all fglrx packages currently installed.
2. as root or using sudo
a. go to /usr/src/modules and rm -r fglrx
b. if you an flgrx-kernel .deb file in /usr/src, delete it.
Now to build the new driver.
1. Go to the folder where you have downloaded the
ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run file
2. Make sure the file is executable
3. As root or using sudo
a. #./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/lenny
Thanks again for this simple howto. It was more or less what I tried to
do myself, but building the package does not work. It fails like this
(long log follows):
Created directory fglrx-install.zq4758
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Why? Is it because I am on amd64? I will try to reinstall from scratch
everything which is GL-related...
