James and all, thanks much for the help, however I have called it a day
with this ATI Radeon 9550 card.
I lost several days troubleshooting the thing, and every corner I tuned
ran into another problem. Torture!
Brought the card back to the store, replaced it with an Nvidia based card.
Emerged Xorg and the Nvidia drivers and have already completed the
successful test of Xorg and the bright and shinning nvidia logo as it
started brought a smile!
This was more like it should!
I know Nvidia is not perfect, but they have yet to fail me.
I will stick with them in the future.
Now my son waits anxiously for KDE to build.
Thanks again all,
Sean
