As always, I need to get video working properly because I can't stand looking at non-native resolution screens.
Vesa driver works (1024x768) for non-native. When I switch to the fglrx driver it'll load just fine but after less than 30 seconds the entire computer is locked up. No touchpad/mouse control, no keyboard control...have to hold in power button until the machine powers down. I'm using a modeline I got from http://hpwiki.cactii.net/hpwiki/NC6400 because after a lengthy chat session with HP today they claim horiz and vert sync values are "not available, are you attempting to install linux on the machine? yes? the installer will choose the correct values for you"...morons. Hope someone's got some ideas.
I have fglrx is listed in rc.conf under modules. Here's my xorg (edited for easier parsing)

What is your video adapter chipset ?
If it is Mobile Intel® 945GM Express read this:

It's the ATI video chipset.

Have you tried using the opensource ati drivers?

EDIT: Make sure you completely remove fglrx before you do this.

Scratch that, I ran aticonfig --initial and that fixed the video issue. I don't know HOW mind you, the xorg.config doesn't look like anything I've seen before but then again this is my first time messing with ATI.
