Hi Davide,
Following your message I checked out nexuiz and it runs fine with my card
and driver. I'm surprised that running the ATI-Installer gave you error
messages. I see 2 differences between our systems:
1. You are using a 64bit kernel and I'm using a 32bit one (although I have
an AMD64 Athlalon Chip.
2. I'm running lenny and you're running sid.
I think the 32 and 64bit versions use the same installation file, yes?
So if it's not related to one of those 2 differences I'm stumped. I don't
understand why just running the installation program with the --buildpkg
switch causes error in your system and not in mine.
Sorry,
Jonathan
