My thoughts exactly. I would rather not, but if I have to I have to...

Cannot comment here, as I don't have ATI. But a few suggestions

Did you run ati-fglrx-config-display as root

Yes, of course.

If so, maybe your path is not finding it. Try finding it explicitly
in /bin /sbin etc ? If not then does

One step ahead :) I'm learning, for sure.

find anything ?


Did that too. At least linux troubleshooting I'm getting down pat. It
went by too fast with too many finds, so I ran it through grep config.
Didn't find anything useful, but now that I'm in a comfy GUI
environment and can acually scroll through the output I see
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display so I'll go drop down to init 3 and see
what I can do with that. Thanks.
