Follow up.

I researched and finally got it working mostly.
Still have wifi to set up.

While I installed the fglrx drivers they didn't seem to work.
But it is working with the xserver-xorg-driver-ati.

What I had to do was to add the option:

	Option	"NoAccel"

And it would not crash at login.

Now to wifi.
