A little script to install it somewhere else - but you need new Xserver, missing files for Debian lenny for example:
Code:#!/bin/sh cd /usr/src wget -N http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run wget -N http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/f/fglrx-installer/fglrx-installer_8.660.orig.tar.gz DIR_OLD=fglrx.old DIR_NEW=fglrx.new rm -rf "$DIR_OLD" "$DIR_NEW" mkdir "$DIR_OLD" "$DIR_NEW" sh ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run --extract "$DIR_OLD" tar -C "$DIR_NEW" -zvxf fglrx-installer_8.660.orig.tar.gz cp "$DIR_OLD"/* "$DIR_NEW" cp -r "$DIR_OLD"/setup.data "$DIR_NEW" cd "$DIR_NEW" wget -qO- "http://phorogit.com/index.php?p=fglrx-packaging.git&dl=targz"|tar zxv mv -v fglrx-packaging packages rm -rf packages/ArchLinux mkdir common mv -v etc lib opt usr common cp -r ../"$DIR_OLD"/packages/ATI packages ./ati-installer.sh 8.66 --install

Wait, 10 hours since the release and still nobody is bitching about bugs? Weird
Anyway, I've modified the 9.8 ebuild to use this tar.bz2 and it seems to be a decent release. It works with 2.6.31-rc8 and Oblivion works in wine without tricks (no dlls from directx, no registry edits).
I still can't get gdm to stop (it hangs the computer if I try) and xv still shows washed colors, but other than that no complaints. I still prefer the open source driver for daily usage, though.

Most drawbacks with fglrx are wine issues now (best compare the same apps/games with nvidia card and same wine version), also non working xv without flickering and nothing to compete with vdpau which would be officially supported - unofficial benchmarks are really funny when nobody can verify em. But at least you see a picture with fglrx in U now - and with my hack or a simple mod somewhere else too.
