I d/l that, rsync it onto his machine, init 3, start to install - it's an actual rpm, and it complains it conflicts with the kmod-fglrx. So, I uninstall that. I clean up /etc/X11 to pristine, and then - I was on the previous kernel, the one that cured mad COW, because X at least tried to come up with that - decide to reboot to the current, 514 kernel, and run the install against that. So I reboot (from my desk, having done all that remotely, and a couple minutes later, over my cube wall, I hear, "shall I just log in?" With kmod-fglrx, it had come up, without the proprietary drives, both monitors active, all is wonderful. AAAARRRGHGHGHGGHGH!!! Season's greetings to all, and *please*, may the next year be better than the old. mark
