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

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.
