Well, no. If you have an old fglrx package installed, you need to remove
it before installing the new version. It's easier. ;)

Actually, not that simple Flavio. That was the first thing I tried but aptitude wanted to remove about 28 packages along with fglrx 4.3.0. I could have copied the 28 packages and then reinstalled them by pasting them back into aptitude install ... but it seemed simpler to overwrite the executables. Anyway, it all works fine. Thanks again.

fglrx is VERY unhappy with the debug version of xfree [...]

Good to know. I'll take note.

From what I have been reading we'll all be switching to Xorg soon anyway. :-)
Cheers,
Jonathan
