fine; although the WSOD issues probably deserve a few bits of safeties
in the wrapper script IMO.

Yes, I did upgrade fglrx, rebuilt the kernel module, but forgot to add
it in /etc/modules (last times, I had always modprobed it manually, out
of distrust, but after several weeks of runtime, I grew confident enough
to just assume it was there...)
Not quite sure the last upgrade was supposed to change much, it just got
pulled in with the last upgrade. What was new is that I had some time to
play with compiz, which I had not had beforehand.
will keep trying whenever AMD pushes something new.
