You should download ati-installer, build dapper packages, install only the
fglrx-kernel-source package. The you must decompress fglrx-kernel-source.tar.gz
in /usr/src.
The you have to edit /usr/src/modules/fglrx/debian/control.template to match
this:
Source: fglrx-installer
Section: restricted
Priority: extra
Maintainer: ATI Technologies Inc.
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 4.2.11), kernel-package
Package: fglrx-kernel-#KVERS#
Architecture: amd64 i386
Provides: fglrx-kernel
Depends: ${XSERVER}-driver-fglrx (= 7.0.0-8.25.18+2.6.15.11-1)
Recommends: linux-image-#KVERS#
Description: ATI binary kernel module for Linux #KVERS#
Video driver for the ATI Radeon and FireGL graphics accelerators.
.
This package provides the binary kernel module for Linux #KVERS#.
only the version in Depends is changed to match ubuntu version numbers.
I had problems building also other modules from source packages, like
vmware-player-kernel-source (see bug
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/vmware-player-
kernel-2.6.15/+bug/48755).
I think that ubuntu devs don't care too much to modules built from sources and
custom kernels... I'm wrong?
This is why debian is still better..... You have more freedom, but freedom has
its price (slow release cicle and many other problems..).
Bye!
