X.org / Ubuntu 5.04

[Mathieu Malaterre <mmalater at nycap dot rr dot com>]

Hello,

	I gave up on the non-intrusive X.org on debian so I directly switch to 
a distro that support X.org. I am still having some problems hopefully 
someone should be able to help me.

1.
	First of all I had to change: debian/rules from:

	ifeq ($(XVERSION),6.8.1)
		# There ain't no driver for 6.8.1, set to 6.8.0
		XVERSION := 6.8.0
	endif

to

	ifeq ($(XVERSION),6.8.2)
		# There ain't no driver for 6.8.1, set to 6.8.0
		XVERSION := 6.8.0
	endif

Since Ubuntu seems to come with X.org 6.8.2 otherwise you get the 
following error (*).

-----------------------------

2.
When trying to compile I get:

make -C extra_src/panel QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/ubuntu/Desktop/fglrx-installer-8.10.19/extra_src/panel'
gcc -c -g -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -funsigned-char -Dlinux

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/ubuntu/Desktop/fglrx-installer-8.10.19/extra_src/panel'
make: *** [build-stamp] Error 2


I had to install:


libdevel/libxxf86misc-dev which provides:
usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/xf86misc.h

and

libdevel/libxxf86vm-dev which provides:
usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h

Maybe someone could update the wiki and specify those package are required.

sudo apt-get install libxxf86misc-dev libxxf86vm-dev

-----------------------------
3. Finally the compilation pass but the installation fails:

$ sudo dpkg -i fglrx-driver_8.10.19-1_i386.deb
dpkg: regarding fglrx-driver_8.10.19-1_i386.deb containing fglrx-driver:

  fglrx-driver (version 8.10.19-1) is to be installed.

Thanks
Mathieu
Ps: Maybe this is more of a Ubuntu related question...
