A little script to install it somewhere else - but you need new Xserver, missing files for Debian lenny for example:

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/src
wget -N http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run
wget -N http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/f/fglrx-installer/fglrx-installer_8.660.orig.tar.gz
DIR_OLD=fglrx.old
DIR_NEW=fglrx.new
rm -rf "$DIR_OLD" "$DIR_NEW"
mkdir "$DIR_OLD" "$DIR_NEW"
sh ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run --extract "$DIR_OLD"
tar -C "$DIR_NEW" -zvxf fglrx-installer_8.660.orig.tar.gz
cp "$DIR_OLD"/* "$DIR_NEW"
cp -r "$DIR_OLD"/setup.data "$DIR_NEW"
cd "$DIR_NEW"
wget -qO- "http://phorogit.com/index.php?p=fglrx-packaging.git&dl=targz"|tar zxv
mv -v fglrx-packaging packages
rm -rf packages/ArchLinux
mkdir common
mv -v etc lib opt usr common
cp -r ../"$DIR_OLD"/packages/ATI packages
./ati-installer.sh 8.66 --install

Edit: --install option fixed, you can replace that line with the one you usually use to create deb/rpm or whatever.

Awesome!! The annoying 'X freeze when killed' bug is fixed!

Wait, 10 hours since the release and still nobody is bitching about bugs? Weird

Anyway, I've modified the 9.8 ebuild to use this tar.bz2 and it seems to be a decent release. It works with 2.6.31-rc8 and Oblivion works in wine without tricks (no dlls from directx, no registry edits).

I still can't get gdm to stop (it hangs the computer if I try) and xv still shows washed colors, but other than that no complaints. I still prefer the open source driver for daily usage, though.

Nvidia Fan-boys run out of arguments!

like Kano big Nvidia fan-boy but no criticism right now.

now we only need an OpenCL/opengl/shader project to speed up viedeos Linux users sould give a fuck abaut UVD2...

Most drawbacks with fglrx are wine issues now (best compare the same apps/games with nvidia card and same wine version), also non working xv without flickering and nothing to compete with vdpau which would be officially supported - unofficial benchmarks are really funny when nobody can verify em. But at least you see a picture with fglrx in U now - and with my hack or a simple mod somewhere else too.

I missed that ;-) WE NEED MORE LIKE YOU !

So Xv is still broken then I'll stick to the open source drivers.

Xv is not broken. It just doesn't offer Vsync.
