Ehm I do not know the path from my head, but m-a gives you the path to
it if it fails.

The sid version is working with 2.6.30, but you have to do some more
efforts to get it working with the lenny xorg.

I will do it until it will be usefull, fglrx is atm crap with too many
bugs to backport it for stable.

Please also note that the sid version does not support anymore most
chipsets.

It only supports >= R500 (namely e.g. > radeon hd2000).
