Thanks, festus deface - thanks, but I'd already read that section after finding it via scroogle. That particular advice didn't work for me. However, as long as I had that page open, I saw a bit about making the following change in xorg.conf. from --- Section Device Identifier ATI Graphics Adapter 0 Driver fglrx BusID PCI:3:0:0 EndSection to --- Section Device Identifier ATI Graphics Adapter 0 Driver radeon BusID PCI:3:0:0 EndSection ...and this worked. So thanks for getting me to reread that page!!! festus -- It is not unusual for those at the wrong end of the club to have a clearer picture of reality than those who wield it.
