Anyone willing to take a shot at this?

Sure,

Make sure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf includes the following at the bottom

Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "true"
Option "DAMAGE" "true"
EndSection


** Also, be aware that ATI broke 3D in the 8-12 driver you installed, but
unfortunately, that is all we have until the 9-1 driver is released. Also,
performance of the 8-12 driver sucks compared to earlier versions. 8-9 is the
last good performer, but that doesn't support 11.1 :-(




I already had the DRI, but not the extensions. I've added them to my
xorg.conf.

I suppose by 3D you mean hardware acceleration? That would explain why
opengl does not work.

This seems to happen every time I end up with an ATI video card. I know
people rant and rave about how terrible nVidia's Linux support is... and
I realize some of what they say is true. But in my experience, nvidia
cards just work better with Linux. Maybe I'm the odd man out on this
one, I don't know.
