@ashrack: please calm down... ubuntu devs have a lot of work to do and
this bug is not very urgent since most of the people using Ubuntu on the
desktop will not need to recompile their kernel at all. However, I
agree, it should be solved "somewhen".

BTW: I managed to get that fglrx module compile using the original fglrx 
installer from ATI:
 - call it with --buildpkg Ubuntu/6.06 to build the packages
 - install the fglrx-kernel-source deb
 - unpack /usr/src/fglrx.tar.bz2
 - cd to /usr/src/modules/fglrx
 - chmod 755 make.sh
 - sed -i "s/#KVERS#/$(uname -r)/g" debian/control.template
 - debian/rules binary_modules

Strange, though, using module-assistant it did _not_ work correctly (the
fglrx.ko complained "invalid module format" when trying to modprobe).

Also, make did not like my /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-rc6-k8
(complained about missing "Makefile.lib.c" although this is not
mentioned anywhere in the scripts) so I removed the headers package and
softlinked linux-source-2.6.17-rc6 to linux-headers-2.6.17-rc6-k8. The
source also does not provide Makefile.lib.c, but make did not complain
again. Really, really strange for me, but I'm not a developer and not
very familiar with c, I'm just happy that I managed to get this f***
code to build my deb somehow ;o)
