Did that too. At least linux troubleshooting I'm getting down pat. It
went by too fast with too many finds, so I ran it through grep config.
Didn't find anything useful, but now that I'm in a comfy GUI
environment and can acually scroll through the output I see
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display so I'll go drop down to init 3 and see
what I can do with that. Thanks.
