Using fglrx-packing?

[Dandel]

I'm wondering how i would go about using the latest pharogit packing... so far i've figured this much out... using the fact that both fglrx-packing.tar.gz and the ati installer are both in the same directory...


1) run the ati installer like so ( Using Catalyst 8.3 as an example )

sh ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run --extract ati

2) extract the contents of fglrx-packaging.tar.gz

3) run the command:
cp -r fglrx-packaging/* ati/packages

4) this is where i get stuck... I tried to run the installer but to no avail... it kept printing error messages.

sh ati/ati-installer.sh --buildpkg Ubuntu/hardy

--buildpkg package          : if generatable, the package will be created
--install                   : install the driver

u need to specify the version number also after ./ati-installer.sh

[Dandel]

thanks, but exactly what are you talking about by version number?
