There should be no need to muck about with fglrx-driver-source and
building it.

It should be sufficient to go to menu System > Administration > Hardware
Drivers and enable "ATi Accelerated Graphics Driver". This should
install the xorg driver and the kernel module as well and enable them.

Otherwise, the fglrx kernel module binary can be installed by installing
linux-restricted-modules (instead of building it from the source)
