Thanks for that, I appreciate it.  As for the drivers loading, fglrx gets 
loaded just fine, so I can't account for why you are having trouble.  Without 
the 'USEInternalAGPGart' set to no, X hangs about half way into loading KDE.  
I hope adding the above option will fix that and make the screen work like it 
should.
