Hello,

I've been using the ati drivers for quite some time, but their build
scripts always were too different from what sorcery expects, so that I
regularly dropped spell creation after some hours. I took another look
at them today, and I think I've found some clues about where to start
(namely the various .spec files should tell how to build it).

In other words: I'm working on it and see how far I get.

One question that I'd like to have discussed is the name of the updated
spell. My suggestion would be something like ati-fglrx, so that we
don't break something for people who still use ati_driver or
ati_driver-new.

Regards,
Martin
