Download the driver for XFree86 4.3.0: 

  $ wget http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian-fglrx-xfree86/fglrx-driver_8.14.13-1_i386.deb
Download the kernel module (only required for 3D acceleration and you can do without if the binary for your kernel is not available): 

  $ wget http://www.stanchina.net/~flavio/debian-fglrx-modules/fglrx-kernel-2.6.11-1-686-smp_8.14.13-1+2.6.11-5_i386.deb
Install them: 

  $ wajig install fglrx-driver_8.14.13-1_i386.deb
  $ wajig install fglrx-kernel-2.6.11-1-686-smp_8.14.13-1+2.6.11-5_i386.deb

Then modify /etc/X11/XF86Config-4: 

    
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI"
        Driver          "fglrx"
        Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
        Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
        Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
EndSection

...

Section "Screen"
	...
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1280x1024"

There is a problem sometimes with more than a single X server running in that the machine freezes.
