comment6,
* To build your own .deb packages for Ubuntu you will need to install at least the following packages from the apt repositories:
** build-essential
** fakeroot
** dh-make
** debconf
 
* Moreover for latest releases, the following package simplifies module installation:
** dkms
 
* If you want to use a newer version of the driver than the one which comes with your distribution and you have ''linux-restricted-modules'' installed, you have to disable the fglrx kernel module from ''linux-restricted-modules'' because it will invariably get in the way of your more recent drivers. Detailed information on how to achieve this can be found in the distribution-specific guides.
 
* You can configure the driver with the '''aticonfig''' tool, more information can be found at [[Configuring]].
