Package: fglrx-driver
Version: 1:9-2-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
After doing a dist-upgrade a couple of days ago in which
linux-image-2.6.30 was installed, the fglrx driver stopped working. I
could no longer get into X. Removing and reinstalling the driver under
the kernel didn't help.
Because the open source ATI drivers don't work, I'm left with the vesa
driver as the only method for running X.
I've also tried the installation method at
http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-install-ati-fglrx-driver-in-debian.html/comment-page-1#comment-3543
but it fails during the driver install while trying to overwrite
libglx.so - and no amount of trying has let me get around the error.
Even if libglx.so is removed, I still can't overwrite it!
