Ok, Noticed my xorg.conf file had screen 1 and not 7, that's been fixed... Now... from a logged in client... when I modprobe fglrx and X -conf /my/conf I get screen with mouse... but still cant get the clients to do this by themselves... I guess its all about the module-assistant not wanting to compile the damn kernel module drivers...
Any help to get this working is much appreciated...
