Hmm, this seems more like a basic installation page.  I didn't follow these
directions exactly, but more or less did the same thing (the same method of
installation that works fine for the previous version 8.27.10).  I really
hate the way ATI tries to take complete control of the xorg.conf file
instead of just properly documenting fglrx with a man page.  I'll make a
copy of my old xorg.conf and try their "aticonfig --initial" configuration. 

However, given the nature of my problem (a really weird hang, but only when
I exit X), I'm not sure this is going to fix it.

Anyone else got any ideas or experience with 8.28.8?
