Yes. Roughly speaking, 1. Get existing source package: "apt-get source xserver-xorg-video-ati". 2. Get build-deps: "apt-get build-dep xserver-video-ati". "apt-get install build-essential fakeroot" 3. Suck down git sources into new directory as Dave says above. > >> git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati.git 4. Apply the .diff.gz patch downloaded in step #1 to the sources you got in step 3. Modify until the patch applies(!). 5. dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b to build it.
