ATI Drivers and kernel 2.6.20

You can't make the required kernel module with the sources from ATI and to get your driver up and running. Ugh… how long did it take to find that out.

However you can install the .deb files that you can get from ATI
cd /usr/src/
tar xjf fglrx-tar-bzr
cd /usr/src/modules/fglrx

then get the patch from [url=http://darcs.frugalware.org/repos/frugalware-current/source/x11-extra/fglrx/fglrx-2.6.20.patch]http://darcs.frugalware.org/repos/frugalware-current/source/x11-extra/fglrx/fglrx-2.6.20.patch[/url]

run the patch using the command
patch < /path/to/fglrx-2.6.20.patch

and then compile the modules using following steps of 4.1c here

Lord bless the smart people that figured all this out!

    Also you should have Composite set to "0" in the xorg.conf file
