According to a [[post by Alex Deucher|http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/pipermail/linux-thinkpad/2007-August/039867.html]], the canonical way to build the ATI driver with TV Out support that he maintains is: 1. First make sure you back up the existing radeon (**radeon_drv.so**) and ati (**ati_drv.so**) drivers. 1. install the **xorg-dev**, **mesa-dev**, **libdrm-dev** and **xserver-dev** packages for your distro. The usual build tools are needed too (**autoconf**, **automake**, **libtool**, **gcc** and others) 1. **git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati** 1. **cd xf86-video-ati** 1. **./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr** 1. **make** 1. **sudo make install** or **make install** as root If you get this error after running **autogen.sh**, you forgot to install **libtool**: [[!format txt """ configure.ac:38: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DISABLE_STATIC If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
