Ok, here is my config file.  And in case I forgot or never mentioned
this, the card is a radeon X1300.

What I did see in the .conf file, was there were now two device sections
after the aticonfig --initial command.  One section has vesa, one has
fglrx.  Also, when trying to enable desktop effects, it tells me
composite extension is not available.
