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!

??

We are _not_ supporting the debs resulted by the ati installer!

On Debian just do (but be sure to remove everything from your old installation):

# apt-get install fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-source module-assisstant
# m-a a-i fglrx

And that was it.
