-ATI display driver for Debian
-=============================
-
-Further information can be found at http://www.ati.com/ -- look for
-the "Drivers & Software" page and follow links to the Linux drivers.
-
-
-Installing over packages built by the ATI installer
----------------------------------------------------
-
-Although the ATI installer can create Debian packages based on earlier
-versions of my work, I do not support those packages. You should purge
-the packages built by the ATI installer before installing the official
-Debian fglrx packages.
-
-Please don't send bug reports to the Debian Bug Tracking System if you
-try to upgrade from third-party packages and you run into problems.
-
-
-Building the kernel module
---------------------------
-
-After you have installed the packages, you'll also need to install a
-suitable kernel module to enable 3D acceleration. Please install the
-fglrx-source package and follow the instructions therein.
-
-Enabling XV driver with release 8.42.3 (and possibly above)
------------------------------------------------------------
-
-In order to enable XV on this release, you need to add this line to the
-device section of your xorg.conf:
-  Option  "TexturedVideo" "True"
-
-
-Screen corruption with release 8.43.2 (and possibly above)
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-Some user reported screen corruption on the lower right corner.
-Some of them also reported that setting this option in de device section
-of your xorg.conf fixes it:
-  Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
-
-
-Crashes in Qt applications
---------------------------
-
-The fglrx driver may fail to detect the monitor's resolution and return
-invalid display width and height values to the X server. This can cause
-floating point exceptions in Qt applications[1,2] and crashes during
-startup in OpenOffice.org[3] -- and quite possibly other problems too.
-
-It has been reported[4] that you can work around this problem by adding
-the following line to the Monitor section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
-
-  DisplaySize 400 300
-
-The numbers are in millimeters. You should of course adjust the numbers
-to match the actual size of your monitor.

-ATI logo
--------------------------------------------------------
-
-There is an interesting hidden option in the ATI Linux display drivers:
-place two files named logo.xbm and logo_mask.xbm in /etc/ati, restart X
-and you'll have a nice little logo in the corner of your screen. Look in
-/usr/share/doc/fglrx-driver/examples for example files supplied by ATI.
-
-The image appears on both monitors in a Big Desktop configuration.

-ATI display driver for Debian
-=============================
-
-
-Building the kernel module
---------------------------
-
-Change directory to /usr/src and unpack the module sources:
-
-   $ cd /usr/src
-   $ tar xjf fglrx.tar.bz2
-
-  *** Make sure to remove any old /usr/src/modules/fglrx* directory
-  *** after an upgrade of the sources package.
-
-You can build the kernel module in several ways. Using module-assistant is
-usually easiest and is therefore recommended.
-
-a) Build with module-assistant (recommended)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-If you have never built modules with module-assistant before, you should
-prepare the build environment by running:
-
-   # module-assistant prepare
-
-In the usual environment, module-assistant should detect all
-requirements. Example (assuming that you build for the running kernel):
-
-   # module-assistant a-i fglrx
-
-module-assistant will unpack the sources for you, if necessary. Make sure
-to remove any old /usr/src/modules/fglrx directory after an upgrade of
-the fglrx package, because module-assistant will not do that for you.
-
-If you prefer to build the packages with m-a from your own user account
-(with ~/src/linux being the kernel source):
-
-   $ mkdir -p ~/src/modass
-   $ module-assistant -u ~/src/modass -k ~/src/linux install fglrx
-
-Note: A detailed explanation of module-assistant is beyond the scope
-of this document. Please refer to the module-assistant documentation.
-
-b) Build with the make-kpkg command
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-make-kpkg is provided by the kernel-package Debian package.
-
-   $ cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.y
-   $ fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-flavour" \
-     --added-modules fglrx modules_image
-
-"-flavour" is supposed to be a placeholder. You need to replace it with
-the correct value for your kernel, for example something like "-1-686" for
-prepackaged Debian kernels.
-
-This will build a new package, which you will have to install:
-
-   $ dpkg -i /usr/src/fglrx-kernel-2.x.y_<version>_<arch>.deb
-
-c) Build with the supplied make.sh script
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-This will build a module that matches the running kernel; you need to have
-the correct kernel source and configuration in place.
-
-   $ cd /usr/src/modules/fglrx
-   $ ./make.sh
-
-Provided that the module was compiled without error, become root and
-install it:
-
-   $ mkdir /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/misc
-   $ cp fglrx.ko /lib/modules/$(uname  -r)/misc/
-   $ depmod -ae
-
-d) Build with the kernel's makefile (only on kernel 2.6.x)
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-This will build a module that matches the kernel sources you start from.
-
-If you are unable to build a working module in any other way, please try
-this method and install the module by hand. If this module works, building
-it with make-kpkg is just a matter of using the correct parameters.
-
-   $ cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.y
-   $ make SUBDIRS=/usr/src/modules/fglrx modules
-
-  (replace /usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.y with the path to your kernel
-  sources)
-
-Provided that the module was compiled without error, become root and
-install it as shown in the previous section.
-
-
-Loading the kernel module
--------------------------
-
-At this point, the kernel module is installed and ready for use; to make
-sure that it's working, you should now try to load it. You'll do this
-only once to check that the module was compiled and installed correctly:
-you won't need to load it manually every time, because the X driver will
-load it as needed.  If you are currently running X, your card will be in
-use and you won't be able to load the module. Please end your X session,
-log in to a text console and stop any display manager you're running.
-
-Now try to load the module by entering the following command as root:
-
-   $ modprobe -v fglrx
-
-If everything goes well, modprobe prints the path of the module it loaded.
-
-If modprobe can't load the module, make sure you've installed it correctly
-and look at the output of dmesg for any errors. Please include the full
-error message from modprobe -v fglrx and the output from dmesg and lsmod if
-you choose to contact me at this point!
-
-Unresolved symbols
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-If you get any "unresolved symbol" errors, look carefully at the unresolved
-symbol's name and try to understand which configuration option it might be
-related to. For example, unresolved symbols containing "mtrr" are obviously
-caused by a missing CONFIG_MTRR=yes.
-
-If you see errors like "unresolved symbol dev_base_R863b01ad", with a
-few hexadecimal digits at the end of the symbol names, it means that the
-module was compiled with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=yes but the running kernel
-was not. In other words, the configuration of your kernel source tree
-does not reflect that of the running kernel.
