Libc 6.2, Debian and compiling modules for ATI Radeon 9700

[Nick Lidakis]

I just purchased a Radeon 9700 Pro (new MB also, Intel 875PBZ)so I could 
play America's Army in Linux. I used to play with a Radeon 8500LE, 
debian testing, a custom kernel and ATI's drivers for 3d acceleration.
At this time last year ,IIRC, Debian testing had Libc 6.2, which 
according to the ATI website, is the only Libc these drivers will copile 
under. From the website:

    *  ATI Linux Driver Version 2.5.1:
         1. Install the Driver Package for XFree 4.1.0 OR Install the 
Driver Package for XFree 4.2.0.
            Xfree86 Version 	  Driver Version
            4.1.0 	  X4.1.0-2.5.1
            4.2.0 	  X4.2.0-2.5.1

         2. This version supports only Linux/x86 versions based on libc 
6.2.
         3. To find out which library you have, download the script 
'Check.sh' and run it.
         4. This bundle contains the necessary files for any X86 
version of Linux based on libc 6.2 (glibc 2.2)
         5. Submit feedback on this driver to our ATI Linux Driver Feedback

Now, I was able to compile these modules last year and get 3d going just 
using ATI's howto, I have no idea how or what a Libc is. All I know is 
that using the 'Chech.sh', it's telling me that I have a newer Libc.

I am now using unstable. Can these drivers be used with Debian unstable 
and Xfree 4.2? What would be the correct way to accomplish this?

Any comments on Libc would be appreciated.
