The fglrx-driver package from the debian stable (etch) repository is built using the 8.28.8 binary version of the fglrx driver from ATI. So, I don't know if rebuilding anew the package in my etch system makes any difference at all. Basically, I should do the same thing the debian maintainer of the fglrx-driver package have done.
