Trying the driver from AMD’s website, I got the following error message:

Log files said dh-modaliases was not installed.

# apt-get install dh-modaliases

Running the install script again:

Again failed. Said execstack not found. Grrr

apt-get install execstack

And then, it compiles with a single thread

I hate it when programs or not multithreaded :@

After compile it all, Lo! It’s old

Finally decided to try :-/

# apt-get install fglrx

Let’s try a reboot. Maybe it might solve it.

Yes it did!!!
