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..).
