I ended up having /etc/api in some kind of weird state.  Ended up doing
the following as root:

NOTE:  You may want to backup /etc/ati somewhere before doing the remove
just in case you need to restore it for some reason.

1)  rm -r /etc/ati
2)  ln -s /usr/lib/fglrx/etc/ati /etc/ati
3)  amdconfig --initial
4)  reboot

That fixed the issue for me.
