I don't have an "aticontrol" executable, but "aticonfig" is supposed to create the relevant x.org entries with the --initial flag. When I run "aticonfig --initial" I get the following:
$ sudo aticonfig --initial
Found fglrx primary device section
Unable to find any supported Screen sections
$ sudo aticonfig --initial=check
Check: Found fglrx section.
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
OpenGL version string: 3.2.9737 Compatibility Profile Context
So somehow fglrx is enabled but doesn't give me any access to configuration or 3D acceleration. What is weird is that I get some compositing effects with the open-source ATI driver even though the KDE control panel tells me compositing is not available.
