Thorsten: I installed the new kernel in my FC5 box this evening, and then ran 
the command at the top of this post. Either the ATI driver is different in 
FC5, or, I didn't succeed in getting it running -
In FC4, the driver would be loaded in the boot sequence and you would see the 
probe for the module - this I'm not seeing. Once up, the installed ATI 
configuration utility refuses to run - I get the bouncing cursor for a few 
moments, and then nothing. I ran  /usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable 
to see if that would change anything - it said it had succeeded and suggested 
a reboot or an X restart - I rebooted, but the behavior was the same. How do 
I tell if it's running?
