The following packages have unmet dependencies.
  fglrx-driver: Depends: xserver-xorg (>= 1:7.4+1) but it is not going 
to be installed
                Recommends: fglrx-atieventsd but it is not going to be 
installed

  xserver-xorg-core: Conflicts: xserver-xorg-input-2 which is a virtual

The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Remove the following packages:
xserver-xorg-video-all

Upgrade the following packages:
libxi6 [2:1.1.4-1 (now) -> 2:1.2.1-2 (unstable)]
xserver-xorg-input-evdev [1:2.0.8-1 (now) -> 1:2.2.4-1 (unstable)]

xserver-xorg-video-radeon [1:6.9.0-1+lenny4 (now) -> 1:6.12.2-3 (unstable)]

Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
fglrx-glx recommends ia32-fglrx-glx
fglrx-glx recommends ia32-apt-get
fglrx-atieventsd recommends fglrx-driver (= 1:9-2-2)
Score is -568
