Thanks for the pointer...

Gave this a shot, still ran into the same "Couldn't start Xserver on 
card0" followed by a "Couldn't start Xserver with default config, trying 
fresh config", followed by a lockup and a cold boot required.

I noticed the "fglrx" Device. Do I have to grab a driver and stuff? 
(Never done that before.)

Also... I notice the line "clone" in there. I'm guessing you're running 
two monitors, simultaneously, or just using the script (below) to flip 
back and forth?
