I wondered later if the issue is that my current kernel has DRM
selected so that I Can get the radeon driver from the kernel. Possibly
for the ATI driver I need to completely deselect DRM, rebuild the

I'm pretty sure that's probably the problem. You might try compiling DRM
as a module and listing the DRM module in /etc/hotplug/blacklist so it's
easier to switch between fglrx and DRM.
In any case, I have heard that the current R200 open-source driver is as
good as the ATI driver - I'm running an R360 (9800XT) so I don't have
the luxury of choice :(
