Believe me, I am going to do a print out of the xorg.conf file for future reference - at least until the next time it is revamped to totally confuse me. Anyway, I can finally view things properly in full screen mode and Control Center-->Peripherals-->Display, now shows a proper refresh rate and gives me options for resolution. I still haven't got 3D acceleration working, but hey! one hurdle at a time. I'm going to try using x11-drm as opposed to the proprietary ati drivers. Thanks again!
