That is what I originally did. I downloaded the trunk sources and the
patches up until the day I downloaded (22 July), and used dpkg-buildpackage
to build all the .deb's.

Yes. I checked and restored all the files touched by the ATi package. I used
'dpkg -L fglrx-glc22' to find all the files installed by the package and
mancually checked them to be sure that they were the original versions
installed
by XFree86. I also checked all the symlinks to make sure that they pointed
to the libs provided by XFree86.

OK. I get them from the xlibmesa4-drm-src package and also tried the latest
snapshots from the DRI homepage.

If I can ever get them working I will look at that as way to compare them.
Until then, I would like to at least get the open source drivers working,
so that I can compare.
