I guess I was trying to simplify things and thus ended up complicating
it all. What a pita.
Solved by installing the entire kit & kaboodle of Xorg and startx worked
right away. Now, to simplify it all, I have to find and delete all the
unnecessary crap that is infesting the notebook. :'(
BTW, the xf86-video-ati driver was not enough - also needed the radeon
since the log shows it is being used... :-)
Thanks for the help, guys.
