Ok, i managed the "preview dirver" to work. The problem was my dual screen configuration file.
Nevertheless i'll wait for the "official" driver to change my laptop config.

The way i made it was [excuse me if i make some 'speeling' mistakes i making i from memory]:

./$preview_drivers_name$.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/intrepid (--listpkg will give you a list of supported package, Ubuntu 8.10 claims to be supported but in experimental process )

next install all generated deb
first fglrx-kernel-source$
then fglrx modaliases$
both xorg-driver-fglrx_8.580-$ and xorg-driver-fglrx-dev_8.580$ [not sure if the *-dev* package is needed. Should be for devellopers only --openGL stuff ...]
then libamdxvba1$ and finaly fglrx-amdccle$$

configuration : simply do a 'sudo aticonfig --initial'

Some features are buggy, like amdccle that begun giving a seg fault when i put some dual screen config in it.

test those drivers at last they install properly without 'ABI' errors when the aticonfig --initial is done !

Cheers and thank to Pet who gave the preview driver link.
