1. Download page:
http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html
2. Choose one to download:
"Linux x86 --> All-in-wonder --> All-in-wonder 9600 series" is a new version,
but "Linux x86 --> FireGL --> FireGL T2-128" is an old version.
这个选择很多是"殊途同归"的, 不一定非选得与自己显卡完全一样, 而要多点点, 找到近期发布的版本, 然后点"Release Notes", 如果有自己显卡的型号, 这个驱动就可以用。
My down: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/ ... 40.4-x86.x86_64.run
3. To create installation packages if possible:
./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg
My OS "Debian/lenny" is in the list, Very good! It will be much easyer to manage packages.
./ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/lenny
Four '.deb' packages and a '.changes' file will be created.
4. Install packages:
dpkg -i fglrx-amdcccle_8.40.4-1_i386.deb fglrx-driver_8.40.4-1_i386.deb fglrx-driver-dev_8.40.4-1_i386.deb fglrx-kernel-src_8.40.4-1_i386.deb
5. Compile kernel module:
Module source is here: '/usr/src/fglrx.tar.bz2'.
./make.sh
cp fglrx.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/fglrx.ko
depmod -ae
Perhaps you cann't insert the module now, because maybe other modules of display are already in the kernel. It comes normal after reboot.
6. Edit 'xorg.conf', add:

7. Over clock or slow clock:
apt-get install rovclock
This command has the same function as NV's 'nvclock'.
* 后来在debian更新时发现, debian的源里已经有fglrx驱动, 是上面那4个包, 加一个'control'包, 而且它的版本还略新一点, 立即更新. 这也表示debian用户可以不用前4个步骤, 直接在源里搜索'fglrx', apt安装, 再编译内核模块就可以了。
