Re: new upstream driver version: 8.14.13

[Matthew Tippett <mtippett at ati dot com>]

I would prefer if Debian rebuilt the fireglcontrol.  We have had to find the
lowest common denominator across most platforms, but feel. Is better to work
with the current QT on the system.

Regards...  Matthew

for the impatient ones, attached patch against latest fglrx-installer
  should help them generate the debian packages until the official ones
  are out.
I disabled the compilation of fireglcontrolpanel in debian/rules files
  because it's shipped by upstream again; I also switched to install the
  upstream provided fireglcontrol.desktop files, instead of the ones in
  the debian/ directory (I'm not sure if it's a good idea, and if they
  where provided in the past).

Best regards,
Alex.
