−	~~There~~ are ~~no words~~ to ~~dsecirbe how bodacious this~~ is.	+	Installing and using fglrx drivers on Arch Linux should be a piece of cake, as the distro provides pre-built packages in its official repos, accessible through the pacman package manager.
		+
		+	The installation instructions I've taken straight from Arch's own wiki page, linked below in the External Resources section.
		+
		+	==Installation==
		+
		+
		+
		+	===Before you start===
		+	You'll need to install the necessary programs
		+	{{Box Terminal\|
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -S xf86-input-evdev<br />
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -S xf86-input-mouse<br/>
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -S xf86-input-keyboard<br/>
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> /etc/rc.d/hal start<br/>
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -Rd libgl
		+	}}
		+	<br/>
		+	{{Box Terminal\|
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> pacman -Sy catalyst catalyst-utils<br/>
		+	<nowiki>#</nowiki> aticonfig --initial
		+	}}
		+
		+
		+
		+	====Notes====
		+
		+	* These packages contain '''only''' the kernel module, and depend on the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package. The <code>catalyst-utils</code> package is kernel-independent and provides the libraries and utilities for Xorg, including ATI's own <code>libGL.so</code>.
		+	* After installing the package, you'll need to either <code>source /etc/profile</code> or log out, then back in to set up the environment properly.
		+	* If you run both <code>kernel26</code> and <code>kernel26beyond</code> then install both catalyst module packages. They won't conflict with one another.
		+
		+	=== Custom Kernels ===
		+
		+	To install catalyst for a custom kernel, you'll need to build your own <code>catalyst-$kernel</code> package, containing the kernel module compiled specifically for your kernel.
		+
		+	If you are at all uncomfortable or inexperienced making packages, read up Arch's [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS ABS] wiki page first so things go smoothly.
		+
		+	==== Obtaining PKGBUILD ====
		+	Obtain the <code>PKGBUILD</code> and <code>catalyst.install</code> files from CVS or ABS. Either:
		+
		+	* Visit http://www.archlinux.org/packages.php?id=10416 and click "View CVS Entries" to find them, or
		+	* Run <code>abs</code> as root and locate the files in <code>/var/abs/extra/modules/catalyst</code>.
		+
		+	==== Editing the PKGBUILD and building ====
		+	Three changes need to be made here:
		+
		+	'''First''', change
		+	pkgname=catalyst
		+	to
		+	pkgname=catalyst-KERNEL_NAME
		+	where KERNEL_NAME is whatever you want (custom, mm, themostawesomekernelever)
		+
		+	'''Second''', remove <code>kernel26</code> from the dependencies list.
		+
		+	'''Third''', change
		+	_kernver=2.6.15-ARCH
		+	to
		+	_kernver=`uname -r`
		+	(or directly insert the output of uname -r '''when running your custom kernel''' there)
		+
		+	Finally, build and install the package. (<code>makepkg -i</code> or <code>makepkg</code> followed by <code>pacman -A pkgname.pkg.tar.gz</code>)
		+
		+	==== Notes ====
		+
		+	* No changes need to be made to the <code>catalyst-utils</code> package, which is completely kernel-independent. '''All''' you need to do is compile a kernel module.
		+	* To build and run the catalyst kernel module with 2.6.16 kernels, patches are needed! Check out the cvs entries for catalyst in testing for the required patch.
