apt-get...

[Me - Atlantic]

I copied this here, since it is a reply to this post, but I changed my
email address for the list (gmail bites)...

Anywy, 

apt-cache search fglrx-driver produces this for me (it depends on whats
in your apt/sources.list)

xorg-driver-fglrx - Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators
xorg-driver-fglrx-dev - Video driver for ATI graphics accelerators
(devel files)

I'll give this pkg a go...


Is this the right package? Do a

apt-cache search fglrx

and you will get
