Install ati radeon hd drivers in debian
 
Hello,

I am using Debian Squeeze.
I need to install ati drivers intended for my graphic card and I have found the following one apt.
ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run

How do I install .run packages in debian?

Thanks,
Anji

You should read the link below..

Using the drivers from ATI/AMD wont be updated automatically when you update your system. It is better to used the packaged fglrx drivers, as shown in the wiki.

To answer your question, you need to make the file executable, and execute it.
Code:
# chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run
# ./ati-driver-installer-11-7-x86.x86_64.run

After giving execute permissions,am able to run the file now.
Also,the link suggested by you is quite useful.
