69.250.234.17: added aticonfig option --adapter=all in case there's multiple videocards, without this it will onnly add one

==Read Me First==
Look into [[Debian]] for more info.

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==

Now we need to patch the kernel. Download patch from(I've personally used this path but users are advised to check/verify it before installing.)

[http://www.blackmoreops.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/fglrx-3.71.patch fglrx-3.7.patch]

Download the file '''[http://www.blackmoreops.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/fglrx-3.71.patch fglrx-3.7.patch]''' and copy to /root

Copy the file '''fglrx-modules-dkms_1%3a12-6+point-3_amd64.deb''' (check if amd64 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

cp fglrx-3.7.patch extract/usr/src/fglrx-12-6+point/
cp Downloads/fglrx-3.7.patch extract/usr/src/fglrx-12-6+point/
cd extract/usr/src/fglrx-12-6+point/

cd /root
mkdir build
dpkg-deb -b extract/ build/
dpkg-deb: building package `fglrx-modules-dkms' in `build//fglrx-modules-dkms_1%3a12-6+point-3_amd64.deb'.

cd build
dpkg -i *.deb
...
DKMS: install completed.

Generate xorg configuration
aticonfig --initial -f --adapter=all

==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 '''radeon.modeset=0''' 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
Cheers 'n enjoy, @[http://www.blackmoreops.com/ blackMORE Ops]
