-* 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 simplify 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-* If you want to use a newer version of the driver than the one which comes with your distribution and you have ''linux-restricted-modules'' installed, you have to disable the fglrx kernel module from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]].
