While being a "nvidia-guy" myself (long before ATI was bought by AMD), out of curiosity, I've asked myself "what would I do" and looked into AMD driver support in Debian. And to my surprise, I didn't found a simple way like "amd-driver" meta-package to install, as opposed to "nvidia-driver" package for nvidia-based VGAs. So, if I were you, I would bite the bullet and use latest official driver [1] provided by AMD, simply because there are no other options. Upon further examination "*.deb" packages they provide will be installed into paths with "*/opt/*" and because of that, they won't overwrite any Debian-native files, so there is little to none possibility to create "franken-debian" by installing them. And since they are packaged into ".deb" files you can always cleanly uninstall them. The only thing I would do prior to driver installation is to enable i386 architecture support [2] on my system, if it wasn't enabled already: # dpkg --add-architecture i386 I wonder why a convenient "amd-driver" meta-package wasn't created yet...
