Public bug reported:
First, let me note that the "fglrx-installer" package doesn't appear in
the repositories (default) that I'm using, so I assume that I'm supposed
to just install the "fglrx" package directly.
When I try to install the closed-source AMD driver for my laptop
graphics chip (AMD FirePro M7740), I get the following:
cjc@awesome:~$ sudo aptitude install fglrx
The following NEW packages will be installed:
fglrx{b}
The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed:
fglrx-amdcccle
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 66.0 MB of archives. After unpacking 207 MB will be used.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
fglrx : Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 which is a virtual package.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) fglrx [Not Installed]
