OMG! I ran fglrxconfig (what a PITA in comparison to the Debian/Ubuntu
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org) and it generated an xorg.conf which I 
carefully copied over (making sure I saved the old one).

However, when I restarted X, the fonts were screwed and I still
didn't have direct rendering. So, I switched back to the Ubuntu
xorg.config.

I give up. If I want to play with gnash I'll use my laptop which has a
Nvidia card which just works. ATI can go jump.

Thanks for thelp anyway.

Cheers,
Erik
