I don't know if this is of interest or if this is old news. Ive just
installed kernel-headers packages(for 2.6.6-1-686) and that seemed to
setup a link from /lib/modules/2.6.6-1-686/build to
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.6-1-686. This seems to be enough to build
kernel modules.

Sorry for taking so long to look into this, but I've been quite busy in the past days.

I'm afraid the kernel-headers packages are *not* enough to build the fglrx kernel module, because the module requires some header files from linux/drivers/char/drm that are not present in those packages. It's bad to depend on any include files outside linux/include and I hope the ATI guys will fix this someday, but until then the full kernel sources are required.
