Okay guys, this is what I never expected to do: I ask you for help installing fglrx properly on Debian.
A year ago, I never had problems with this. Then I used scripts from Kano (Kanotix) and after that from h2 (Sidux) to install fglrx and never had problems.
For some reason I now want to install them myself again. These are the steps I've tried with Debian/sid and Debian/etch.
###.1
Install kernel headers, fakeroot, dh-make, gcc, and all other stuff listed on several sites. Then dl the driver from AMD.
###.2
As root, I create the packages with
sh ./ati....run --buildpkg Debian/etch (or sid)
Then install fglrx-driver, fglrx-kernel-source and fglrx-amdcccle.
###.3
m-a prepare
m-a update
m-a a-i fglrx
depmod -a
The kernel module gets built succesfully and installed without any errors.
###.4
I tried both, aticonfig --initial and just change the driver to fglrx. Then add
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
###.5
modprobe fglrx - it gets loaded without errors and
init 5 again / start kdm.
--- black screen ---
I tried some things with linking this and that, with installing fglrx-driver_dev and more... it not even runs with Mesa.
What else could I do?
Btw.: is the ATI Installer fixed for Debian? All sites advise you to create debs. I didn't have problems installing it with the ATI Installer but I had the same problems. Is it still broken?
