Hi!
We've packaged a new restricted modules package for hardy. The
nvidia/fglrx -drivers won't work with the new xserver, and they also
conflict because l-r-m Provides: xserver-xorg-video, when it should be
x-x-v-ABIVER. Those are now fixed, and packages for i386 and amd64 are
here (no apt-support):

debdiff and the sources are also provided, and here is the changelog:
linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (2.6.22.5-14.1~tja1) hardy; urgency=low
[ Bryce Harrington ]
* Add new fglrx 8.42.3 because it's needed for xorg-server 1.4.
* debian/rules: Disable extraction and building of panel code.
* Drop patch 0-panel-qt-mt-i386.diff: panel no longer exists.
* Drop patch 2-ioctl32-is-obsolete.diff: Does not apply any longer.
[ Timo Aaltonen ]
* Update older NVidia drivers to versions that support xorg-server 1.4:
- legacy: 1.0-7185 -> 71.85.01
- current: 1.0-9639 -> 96.43.01
* debian/control.stub.in:
- Set nvidia and fglrx to provide xserver-xorg-video-2, which is the
current ABI version of xorg-server.
- xorg-driver-fglrx:
+ Doesn't need to conflict with nvidia anymore.
+ Updated the list of supported cards.
* debian/nvidia-glx.{preinst,postrm}.in
- Divert libwfb.so provided by xserver-xorg-core.
- Clean up old X11R6 diversions from preinst.
* debian/rules
- Do not include libGL in xorg-driver-fglrx, it works fine with the system
version.
- Do not include any 32bit stuff in the amd64 build, since there is none.
* debian/xorg-driver-fglrx.preinst
- No need to divert anymore, since libGL is not included.
- Copy a function from Debian fglrx-driver.preinst to do the cleanup already
on upgrade, and edit it to suit this package.
* debian/xorg-driver-fglrx.links*:
- Don't link libGL.
- Remove .amd64, since it's now identical with the generic one.
The fglrx-driver is not perfect, for instance FireGL -support has been
suspended in 8.4x, but at least it works with the new server for those
who need it. The nvidia-glx-new hasn't been updated although there is a
minor update to it.
