So, I guess it is conclusive. The drivers provided by ATI at their site are DEFECTIVE. When are we going to get some good drivers? I'm not going to plug and unplug my monitor every time I boot my computer to get dual screen. They need to fix their package so that when you install the rpms, then all you have to do is run fglrxconfig like they tell you to and that should be the end of the job.
Just for follow up ... Yes, I am seeing fglrx loaded when I run lsmod from an X terminal. I'm not sure why I wasn't seeing it. Here is my output from fglrxinfo from an X terminal: display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: VA Linux Systems, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4.2 The XF86Config file has the BusID line and the Load "dri" lines commented out so that I can at least get a screen.
