Installing ATI drivers 10.1 for ubuntu karmic x64

For some strange reason, a recent update to the latest ubuntu kernel disabled the ati driver on my thinkpad T400.

Just for the record. This is what I did to reinstall it:

First, go to:
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Use the page to select your driver:

For Karmic 9.10 x64 and i386 it will be:
download ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run

Ensure you are fully up to date with

$ sudo apt-get update

Ensure that you hvae the QT4 libraries with:

$ sudo apt-get install libqtgui4

Copy the downloaded file into it's own folder. From a terminal change to that folder and then create deb files with:

$ sudo sh ./ait-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic

That will create the necessary "deb" files.
Lastly install these with:

$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Now reboot.
After a reboot, I had to re-run the Compiz Manager to reset all my options.

You can check that it is all working using

$ fglrxinfo

My display showed the following:
