I have just made these build against both 2.6.8-1-k7 and 2.4.27-1-k7
kernel headers by making the following changes to
/usr/src/modules/fglrx-4.3.0-3.12.0;

1) edit make.sh and change;

  drmincludes=${KERNEL_PATH}/drivers/char/drm

to;

  drmincludes=${current_wd}

2) copy drm.h, drm_os_linux.h, drmP.h, and drm_proc.h from
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8-1/drivers/char/drm/ into
/usr/src/modules/fglrx-4.3.0-3.12.0

I'm yet to verify that the generated modules work OK, but I at least
have nice debs now :-). This could be a simple fix for the next release
to make it build OK against headers only.

Note that during the build stuff from make.sh flashes by that suggests
it tries to figure out if the headers are OK, with things like;
"skipping patch for 'drmP.h', not needed". This suggests make.sh is an
abortion that can be flushed after decent drm headers are included.
