Never mind folks. You'll love this: I figured I'd try the proprietary
drivers. I d/l that, rsync it onto his machine, init 3, start to install -
it's an actual rpm, and it complains it conflicts with the kmod-fglrx. So,
I uninstall that. I clean up /etc/X11 to pristine, and then - I was on the
previous kernel, the one that cured mad COW, because X at least tried to
come up with that - decide to reboot to the current, 514 kernel, and run
the install against that.
So I reboot (from my desk, having done all that remotely, and a couple
minutes later, over my cube wall, I hear, "shall I just log in?"
With kmod-fglrx, it had come up, without the proprietary drives, both
monitors active, all is wonderful.
AAAARRRGHGHGHGGHGH!!!
Season's greetings to all, and *please*, may the next year be better than
the old.
