Clayton, I'm not so sure this is a xorg problem. I've got a sinking feeling it's something else that may be more difficult to track down. I've been experimenting since last evening and have yet to get things back to normal. ATI driver quit working, reinstalled kernel to go back to the radeon driver there, after doing several other tests. Still no go with direct rendering, although the logs show it enabled. Checking with glxinfo shows it not on and using Mesa. Also, glxgears is painfully slow.
You made it too hard. The latest xorg-server update had a postin script that rewrote your xorg.conf and changed the fglrx to radeon. The good part is that it saves the original to another xorg.conf.xxxxxxx file Don't remember the name off-hand. Changed it to that one and the system is back to normal.

Thanks Mike, I wish it were that easy. I had already checked the xorg.conf file as well as replaced it with a known good one. Plus, I have reconfigured more than once to get a new xorg.conf file running sax2. Checking those things have been part of the process I've been through thus far. As I mention above, the logs show no errors, that I've detected and dri as being enabled, but it's a different story when KDE boots. Maybe your suggestion will help someone else though. regards, Lee
