From my experience fglrx works with kernel 2.6.20 (amd64).

I would recommend using 2.6.21 on new HP laptops. Not
sure about this particular one, but on some models ACPI is totally
broken with anything before 2.6.21-rc5. And by "totally" I mean "may fry
your hardware". Check your fan and temperature readings under load.

But, it cannot use xserver-xorg-core 1.3.0. So you will have to hold
xserver-xorg-core to 1.1.1-21 until (at least) the next release.

It can use 1.3.0 just fine, it just refuses to do so because of a dumb
version check performed by the driver. Fortunately, there is a fix. Just
run one of the attached scripts (NOT BOTH) as root after installing the
driver, and it should work. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Furthermore, xv is broken with 8.36.5.

Just use software scaling or OpenGL output. Whatever works with your
media player.

Did I mention that fglrx drivers suck?


After a bit of investigation, I just want to point out that the hacks
that you provided are illegal. They directly violate the ATI license
agreement that one agrees to when installing the proprietary drivers in
the first place. Another reason to boycott ATI video cards.
