Thank you for your reply, Michael!

I have just uploaded the packages for you to help me testing them:
http://christian-linux.com/fglrx/fglrx-atieventsd_11-4-3christian_i386.deb
http://christian-linux.com/fglrx/fglrx-control_11-4-3christian_i386.deb
http://christian-linux.com/fglrx/fglrx-driver_11-4-3christian_i386.deb
http://christian-linux.com/fglrx/fglrx-glx_11-4-3christian_i386.deb
http://christian-linux.com/fglrx/fglrx-modules-dkms_11-4-3christian_i386.deb
http://christian-linux.com/fglrx/md5sum.txt

The dkms package compiles well on 2.6.38, which was my main purpose for
this work.

Thank you and best regards!
