If you've been trying out the latest alpha builds of
Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" and are using the ATI binary driver, you may want to check out the latest packaging scripts from
Phorogit. For Ubuntu users, there is now 8.04 support so you can run
--buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy or
--buildpkg Ubuntu/8.04 for building your Debian packages. The Ubuntu packaging scripts also now utilize
DKMS support (Dynamic Kernel Module Support), for easily rebuilding the fglrx package upon Linux kernel upgrades. DKMS for fglrx in Ubuntu no longer makes it necessary to use the
module-assistant installation routine. These Ubuntu packaging script updates (and
others) will be present in this month's ATI Catalyst 7.12 release for Linux.
