Comment 100 for bug 148408

Just a tip if someone want to compile and test, you can skip the packaging and package installation to save time: Do this on a console Ctrl-Alt-F1 log in and stop X
 sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
After fetching the source package
 dget https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/1:6.6.3-2ubuntu6/+files/xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.3-2ubuntu6.dsc
and unpacking it
 dpkg-source -x xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.3-2ubuntu6.dsc
go into the source directory
 cd xserver-xorg-video-ati-6.6.3
and build it [segno %]
 debian/rules build
then just install the new driver module
 sudo cp obj-i486-linux-gnu/src/.libs/radeon_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
and test X
 startx
Log out to shut down X again. Then
 fakeroot debian/rules clean
and comment out a new patch
 nano debian/patches/series
and build again... [dal segno]
