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**:
