howdy,
I tried to get the fglrx-kernel-2.6.16-grml drivers for ATI, but it seems like that creates problems with the install Mesa drivers, ie. I get the following error:
Unpacking replacement fglrx-driver ... dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx-driver_8.25.18-1_i386.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2', which is also in package xlibmesa-gl dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Could I remove the Mesa libs? Removing the Mesa package doesn't work, because that would remove half my system (even amarok depends on it).
What about removing the libGL.so.1.2 file, so that the fglrx can install its version; if the driver causes trouble, would this make my system instable?
Thanks for any tips,
murphee

The fglrx-driver package should take care of this and should add a diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/fglrx/diversions/libGl.so.1.2.
This works for me:

Are you using Xorg 7.0? Is you system up2date? What does 'dpkg --get-selections | grep xlib' say?
The last method to solve the problem would be a 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite ~deb/fglrx-driver_8.25.18-1_i386.deb'.

Nope, it's using Xorg 6.9; do I have to do something special to get 7.0? I guess I did an apt-get upgrade about a week (or so) ago.

xlibmesa-dri install xlibmesa-gl install xlibs install xlibs-data install
The last method to solve the problem would be a 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite ~deb/fglrx-driver_8.25.18-1_i386.deb'.
I guess that just overwrites the Mesa libGL? I'll try that.
Thanks,

apt-get update ; apt-get install xserver-xorg should bring Xorg 7.0.

xlibmesa-dri install xlibmesa-gl install xlibs install xlibs-data install
Ok.

Yes.

Mika,
Pardon, please the OT, but, since that method works perfectly on my mission critical machines, but I am trying to build a test bed, will the deb packages work if one has upgraded to xorg 7?
If so, do the gl apps work?
I e, I need xorg 7, fglrx drivers, with all 3d working.
Best, Martin

Yes, the packages are build for use with Xorg 7 as stated in upstream changelog: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_8.25...

Sorry this was my fault, I built the fglrx-package and forgot to add the diversion for xorg 6.9. The new package which should be available in this minutes should fix this. Sorry for your problems.
