0. about wait & sleep modes on catalyst-12.10 and kernel-3.2.0 Previous words are wrong, right way is to do "modprobe radeonfb" after pure instalation amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run. It's blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf. Comment string with it and make a new file f.e. wait.conf with "options radeonfb" in it. And WAIT and SLEEP mode become work correctly. By the way, fglrx-driver_12-6+point-1_i386.deb from testing breaks Wait&Sleep modes. And at last, preventing editing page makes bad only for you and others , not me.

Did anyone _ever_ tried successfully to build a debian packet since about 2009??? I've used the --keep keyword of the installer and watched the code. This is ridiculous:

case ${X_NAME} in       woody|3.0) echo "Error: ${X_NAME} is no longer supported by this installer" ; exit 1 ;;        etch|stable|4.0) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=etch;; lenny|testing) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=lenny;;       sid|unstable) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=sid;; experimental) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=experimental;;       *) echo "Error: invalid package name passed to --buildpkg" ; exit 1 ;; esac
 * 1) Detect x* dir name corresponding to X_NAME

Besides the fact that lenny hasn't been testing for a long time now, there isn't a X_DIR "x710" in this whole packet thus you don't need to wonder about it is failing all the time with the error: "cp: cannot stat `/tmp/fglrx-install.1GJKvS/x710_64a/*': No such file or directory"

xserver 1.12.3-1
This was rumored to address the segfaults. Does anyone have experience with this version?

Jasmine Hassan: xserver-xorg-core 1.12.3.902-1 with fglrx-driver 12-6+point-1 works for me. Using Radeon HD 7670M, on Inspiron 15R 5520.

12.8 / 8.982
The build instructions for 12.8 are what would have worked in earlier versions. But 12.8 unzips to amd-driver-installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run so the build command should be reflecting this.
