fglrx 8.01 buildpkg Debian/lenny fails

[sandain]

The included buildpkg script for Debian/lenny is failing on my system for fglrx 8.01. The script in version 7.12 and 7.11 worked flawlessly, even if the drivers themselves left me wanting. How do I access the latest script, or does anyone have any suggestions on how else to fix this problem?

Thanks


$ sh ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Debian/lenny

Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Be sure that your xorg.conf is useable, then just execute:

http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh

I found the solution. I first tried installing the latest script from phorogit, but the buildpkg still failed.

To get it working, I first extracted the archive, then I created a symbolic link
to: fglrx-install/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1
from: fglrx-install/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0

Then I ran the fglrx-install/ati-installer.sh buildpkg script.

When I run ati-installer.sh it just says unrecognized parameter and won't build.

[Kano]

Why don't you run my script? As long as your xorg.conf is correct the script will work fine.

I get this error

Error: No KANOTIX found. Do not ask for support!
Error: Bad /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

My xorg.conf file is pretty much empty, nothing detected properly.

After looking at Kano's script, your error is being generated because inside your "Configured Video Device" section you have no Device line mentioning vesa or another driver. Try adding Driver "vesa" to your device section and then try...

[Kano]

Well you need a Screen section too to set the default to 24 bit. I really dislike what the current lenny/sid default is. Before it was more easy to replace the needed parts.

[alex_gio1983]

im also trying do --buildpkg but without no result...

so you suggest to run this command right(see if it is right because im so noob...)

ln -s fglrx-install/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1 
fglrx-install/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0

but without the space between 1 .0 for second file?
I'm right?

[BurningDiesel]

The script worked, I just had to change it to build for hardy.
