Debian Lenny on Toshiba Satellite A300-15M

Debian lenny stable version was installed on Toshiba Satellite A300-15M. But after the installation the gdm was not loading. On googling the internet I got a solution.

The debian Lenny DVD-1 lacks fglrx packages So I had to download fglrx packages.

The packages where "fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-source"

These packages can be downloaded at
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/fglrx-atieventsd/download
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/fglrx-driver/download
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/fglrx-glx/download
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/fglrx-source/download

Now in order to get the gui for lenny
you have to login through the terminals using Alt+Ctrl+F1 .
Now become the root by typing
su
followed by root password.

Now copy the downloaded packages to your laptop uisng your pendrive or cd.
All these has to be done solely through command line.

Now install these packages using
dpkg -i name.deb
command.

You need to install module-assistant .
The debian ask you to type

apt-get -f install

Then
apt-get install module-assistant
to install module-assistant

Then type
module-assistant auto-install fglrx-source
and
aticonfig --initial

After a reboot, the graphics should work.
Verify that it worked

$ fglrxinfo
