Many thanks to 'Sani Morphic' for his original post. Also big thanks goes to "http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary" for their updates on Linux Header and ATIEventSD notes.

==Install Linux Headers and Drivers from Repo==
Install the appropriate linux-headers
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,')
Install the fglrx-driver packages
apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-control fglrx-glx fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-modules-dkms
If you are using 64-bit Debian, install the 32-bit fglrx libraries for use with 32-bit programs.
apt-get install fglrx-glx-ia32

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.7-trunk-amd64 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/fglrx/12-6+point/build/make.log for more information.

==Download patch and patch .deb.file==

Need to patch the kernel
Download patch from(I've personally used this path but users are advised to check/verify it before installing.)
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4Vf...WlU/edit?pli=1

Download the file "fglrx-3.7.patch" and copy to /root

Copy the file fglrx-modules-dkms_1%3a12-6+point-3_amd64.deb //check if amd6 architecture or i386, based on which version you're using filename might be slightly different

to /root

from

/var/cache/apt/archives

cp /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-modules-dkms_1%3a12-6+point-3_amd64.deb /root

==Patch and repack to a new .deb==

mkdir -p extract/DEBIAN
dpkg-deb -x fglrx-modules-dkms_1%3a12-6+point-3_amd64.deb extract/
dpkg-deb -e fglrx-modules-dkms_1%3a12-6+point-3_amd64.deb extract/DEBIAN

cd build
dpkg -i *.deb

DKMS: install completed.

Generate xorg configuration
aticonfig --initial -f

==Add Grub options for radeon and reboot==

leafpad /boot/grub/grub.cfg

you see this:

### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 3.7-trunk-amd64' --class debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
load_video
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos5)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 7f79eea2-1668-407f-b7ed-d5613fecd26c
echo 'Loading Linux 3.7-trunk-amd64 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.7-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=7f79eea2-1668-407f-b7ed-d5613fecd26c ro initrd=/install/gtk/initrd.gz quiet
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.7-trunk-amd64
}

Add <b>radeon.modeset=0</b> in the end of the following line

linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.7-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=7f79eea2-1668-407f-b7ed-d5613fecd26c ro initrd=/install/gtk/initrd.gz quiet

So the line above becomes this:

linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.7-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=7f79eea2-1668-407f-b7ed-d5613fecd26c ro initrd=/install/gtk/initrd.gz quiet radeon.modeset=0

Note: "fee64a58-2e36-43f5-962d-8c33f936d452" UUID would be different for every PC. Use your one here.

Save and exit
reboot

Extra:
Enable Laptop mode to save power and lower CPU temp:
leafpad /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode
Replace the number with 5.

Save and exit.
