I have test this script in my computer, and it works, but you know the relationship between ATI and systems linux, and believe which is much better. I'm using Debian, anywhere system Debian based the configuration should be similar.
Open your terminal and write the next commands:
The next command it is for for install some dependencies and some packets needed to install correctly the driver.
$ sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential fakeroot dh-make debconf bzip2 wget
After that command you go download the driver ati
$ wget -c https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/920...it/ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run
Now you need run the installation
$ ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --extract fglrx
Open the directory fglrx
$ cd fglrx/arch/x86_64/usr/X11R6
Probably you have a some files in this directory, such as...
$ ln -s lib64 lib
## One more link needed for 8.2
## begin 8.2
$ ln -sf libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1
## end 8.2 ;-)
$ cd -
$ sudo ./packages/Debian/ati-packager.sh --buildpkg etch #replace with lenny or sid when appropriete
$ cd ..
$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-driver_8.42.3-1_amd64.deb fglrx-driver-dev_8.42.3-1_amd64.deb fglrx-kernel-src_8.42.3-1_amd64.deb fglrx-amdcccle_8.42.3-1_amd64.deb OK, after input this commands, reboot your machine...
After reboot run this comand:
$ fglrxinfo
And the result of this command should be similar to
:
algoreal@dhcp-10-187:~$ fglrxinfo
