fglrx 8.01 buildpkg Debian/lenny fails

[sandain]

If I'm not mistaken, I used the command:

ln -s fglrx-install/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0  fglrx-install/arch/x86/usr/X11R6/lib/libfglrx_gamma.so.1

However my fglrx-install directory actually had a string of letters and numbers tacked onto the end, so double check that.

A more appropriate way of fixing this is for someone to create a patch for the script on phorogit. If I have some time, and its still not updated, I'll look into creating one. The only problem is that I wouldn't know how to properly create a patch for git, I've only used subversion in the past.

Thanks for the link, that should help the struggle a little bit.

I never dreamed that the ATI driver scene would still be this bad. I remember selling my last ATI card because the driver support was so bad, but I was under the impression that it was getting better over the years.

I might even to sell my 3850 =/ which is a shame because it's the best bang for our buck card on the market today

I downgraded to 7.10 and followed the instructions on this link: Try http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=11734
and my 3850 is working fine. 3d works, compiz works, everything works.

Thanks!
