[Grml] ATI drivers vs. Mesa(OT)

[my]

Mika,

Pardon, please the OT, but, since that method works perfectly on my
mission critical machines, but I am trying to build a test bed, will the
deb packages work if one has upgraded to xorg 7?

If so, do the gl apps work?

I e, I need xorg 7, fglrx drivers, with all 3d working.

Best,
Martin
