1) sudo apt-get install "linux-headers"
according to your default or customized kernel
2) sudo apt-get source fglrx
3) sudo m-a a-i fglrx
To be sure to have the x-input-drivers ready:
a) sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-kbd
b) sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-mouse
4) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Have a look in the manual of your monitor(s).
You need to know the horizontal sync range, the vertical refresh range
and the supported resolutions of your interest.
5) sudo aticonfig --initial --resolution=0,1280x1024,1024x768,800x600,720x576,640x480
--hsync=0,30-80 --vrefresh=0,55-75 for example.
Remarks: "aticonfig
--initial ..." works only, if you have a clean (dpkg-reconfigured)
"/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
"0," before resolution etc. works
on your first screen, use "1," if you want to configure your
second screen.
Please no claims, no reclamations. I publish
this mini-howto in the hope it may be usefull to you.
You may extend this howto, if you leave my
copyright intact.
