This should still be the case. If not check if /etc/init.d/ati-fglrx is
still enabled. If yes, then please post the output of
/etc/init.d/ati-fglrx start
/etc/init.d/ati-fglrx stop
[root@viewridgeproductions cj]# chkconfig --list ati-fglrx
ati-fglrx 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off
[root@viewridgeproductions cj]# /etc/init.d/ati-fglrx start

Maybe ATI changed something and it works now without the kernel-module?
[root@viewridgeproductions cj]# service ati-fglrx status
Init-Script is not running.
fglrx driver is enabled.
I opened the GUI and manipulated the color sliders, and they definitely
adjusted the screen???

The X-Server will work fine without the kernel-module (a updated modules
hopefully are pushed soon), but 3D-Support won't work.
This I knew. I was puzzled by the lack of messages on boot-up. I still am...
Could the ATI GUI be adjusting the video even if the fglrx driver is not
running?
