2007-11, see http://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo
As of November 2005, ATI's drivers are in the non-free area of Debian. Make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list contains "contrib non-free" as well as main. You will, however, have to build your own kernel modules.
Warning: do not mix the non-free packages with the packages created by the installer as they will conflict in non-obvious ways. Before switching from one method to another, completely remove all fglrx-related packages. Never do upgrade from one method to another directly!
You're the graeetst! JMHO
Confirm that it worked
$ fglrxinfo display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic OpenGL version string: 1.3.5461 (X4.3.0-8.19.10)
If it didn't work, you may need to run:
# mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri # ln -s /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri
Thanks to Maciej Matysiak for the clear debug here and solution here.
If it's still not working, try:
# rm /usr/lib/libGL.so* # rm /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* # cd /usr/X11R6/lib # cp /usr/lib/fglrx/diversions/lib/libGL.so.1.2 . # ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1 # ldconfig
and confirm that 'ldd /usr/bin/fglrxinfo' is pointing to the right one.
People seem to be experiencing a broken libGL.so.1 after installing 8.41 on Debian/etch. If `amdcccle` complains that libGL.so.1 does't exist, DONT DELETE /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 LIKE IT SAYS ABOVE. Make symbolic link to libGL.so.1.2 (which is included in fglrx package - 14 megs in size):
# cd /usr/lib # ln -s libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1
This work fine for ATI mobility radeon 1400
