Posted by Admin on January 5th, 2010
This tutorial will help you to install ATI drivers on Debian 5(lenny)
First you need to download ATI drivers from here and run the downloaded script as root
#sh ati-driver-installer-9-10-x86.x86_64.run
Follow the on screen instructions
Troubleshooting
If you got an error during the installation try the following:
#apt-get install build-essential module-assistant fglrx-driver fglrx-kernel-src
#m-a update
#m-a prepare
#m-a a-i fglrx
and then try to install the package again “sh ati-driver-installer-9-10-x86.x86_64.run”
It should be ok after this.

This worked perfectly! I ran the troubleshooting steps first and then I ran the ATI installer (ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run).
Thanks for the post!
