Hi all: Searching in the Internet I've found a way to make ATI
propietary driver work under Wheezy. Of course, it implies to downgrade
Xserver to a version prior to 1.12.
Now I can wait fglrx 12-5 (wich is supposed to work under the new XOrg.

In the Spanish mailing list, a user posted an alternative method to
install the latest flgrx package in Wheezy (instructions detailed in this
Debian's forum thread):

Not sure what solution (downgrading packages or patching a library) would
be better, though...
Greetings,
The problem with using AMD's drivers is that they aren't always current
with the latest X.org. That's probably why there is no fglrx-driver in
the current Wheezy repositories. Moreover, the driver will likely break
later as Wheezy evolves.
I've been down this route myself. Eventually I just settled on the open
source drivers. They work well and are kept updated. The proprietary
drivers are just too much work when running debian/testing.
+1 on this. I just don't think fglrx is worth the trouble.
