To set up X11 drivers, you typically need for X11 to be not running.
Console in this case means glass CRT. Normally a console and a terminal window are functionally equivalent, but when it is required that X11 not be running, there is a major difference.

So basically, I need to run this ate the cli without KDE running? So I take it that you can almost guess my next question? :-) How do I keep KDE from starting up?
At the boot prompt, enter
3
- tells the system to boot into runlevel 3; "Full multiuser but no graphics".
Alternatively, if you miss the boot screen, when the system is up and at the login screen;
<ctrl><alt><F1>
brings you terminal 1. Login as root and enter
init 3
- which takes the system 'down' from runlevel 5, to runlevel 3.
HTH /Jon -- YMMV
Thanks Jon. Sometimes I feel really low because sometimes I will ask a question without thinking farther, and when i hit the send button, off I go searching for one thing and end up finding the answer to my own question. :-O I have been going back and forth with init 3 and init 5 trying to figure this video driver situation out and I think I'm in a bit of a quandary. I found the ati How-to and was following along but it seems the driver I was trying to install conflicts with a driver that is installed. :-( It's a 32bit vs 64bit struggle I think. Anyway, it's past my bed time and I'll have to try and tackle this later on.
