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!!!
