85.178.67.209:

Did anyone _ever_ tried successfully to build a debian packet since about 2009???
I've used the --keep keyword of the installer and watched the code. This is ridiculous:

#Detect x* dir name corresponding to X_NAME
case ${X_NAME} in
woody|3.0) echo "Error: ${X_NAME} is no longer supported by this installer" ; exit 1 ;;
etch|stable|4.0) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=etch;;
lenny|testing) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=lenny;;
sid|unstable) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=sid;;
experimental) X_DIR=x710; X_NAME=experimental;;
*) echo "Error: invalid package name passed to --buildpkg" ; exit 1 ;;
esac

Besides the fact that lenny hasn't been testing for a long time now, there isn't a X_DIR "x710" in this whole packet thus you don't need to wonder about it is failing all the time with the error:
"cp: cannot stat `/tmp/fglrx-install.1GJKvS/x710_64a/*': No such file or directory"

== xserver 1.12.3-1 ==

This was rumored to address the segfaults. Does anyone have experience with this version?

Jasmine Hassan: xserver-xorg-core 1.12.3.902-1 with fglrx-driver 12-6+point-1 works for me. Using Radeon HD 7670M, on Inspiron 15R 5520.

== 12.8 / 8.982 ==

The build instructions for 12.8 are what would have worked in earlier versions. But 12.8 unzips to amd-driver-installer-8.982-x86.x86_64.run so the build command should be reflecting this.
