It seems I've fixed this, though I have no idea how. My system just installed "fglrx-control", along with "fglrx-amdcccle", and, somehow, this *may* have fixed things. I don't know why, since "fglrx-amdcccle" is apparently a transitional package, and "fglrx-control" is just a control panel. Still, I won't complain. Thanks for the patience.
