A few items of interest. I actually ran
grep -A5 -B5 -E '\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and then trimmed down a bit.

1)
1609-(**) Extension "XVideo" is enabled
1644:(WW) Open ACPI failed (/var/run/acpid.socket) (No such file or directory)
1718-(II) No APM support in BIOS or kernel
1756-(II) Module ABI versions:
1782- X.Org ANSI C Emulation: 0.3

I assume that this means no screensaver.

2)
21946-(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Dec 12 2006 17:18:27
22013-(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Information: autobuild-rel-r6-8.32.2.1.2.3-driver-lnx-x86-x86_64-313294
22125-(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
22187:(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:5:0:1) found
22263-(--) Chipset RADEON X300/X550 Series (RV370 5B60) found

lspci shows 2 entries for the video card...
05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B60 [Radeon X300 (PCIE)]
05:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Radeon X300SE]

What is the second entry dupposed to be for?

3)
(II) fglrx(0): Acceleration enabled
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "VendorName" is not used
(WW) fglrx(0): Option "ModelName" is not used
(II) fglrx(0): X context handle = 0x1
(II) fglrx(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled
(==) fglrx(0): Using hardware cursor
(**) fglrx(0): Video overlay enabled on CRTC1

Does this matter at all?

4)
drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID PCI:5:0:0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is 8, (OK)
drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 8
drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports PCI:5:0:0
(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

"reverting to software rendering" ouch. This is probably it. Now
what?
