OK, I'm now on 10.10 and this issue appears to have been resolved
ultimately.

I believe the issue is that my graphics card probably never should have
existed in our plane of reality.

Even under Windows driver support for it was nigh nonexistent, so I
suppose I should not have been so surprised by its absence in Linux as
well.

ASUS AH3650 SILENT/HTDI/512M Radeon HD 3650 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP
4X/8X HDCP Ready Video Card

When this card came out pretty much everyone in their right mind had
switched to motherboards with PCI Express slots.  All of ATi/AMDs
drivers for this range of chipsets presume a PCI Express installation.
But someone at either ASUS or SAPPHIRE, possibly both as they each offer
a version of this graphics card, came up with the brilliant idea of
offering this as an AGP card for those such as myself who had aging
hardware that just needed a good graphical kick in the pants.

I was happy to grab it as a replacement for my old AIW Radeon 8500DV.
But alas, it was never quite what I expected.  So I've ordered new
hardware and will be putting together a new system within the next week
as my primary Ubuntu workstation.  Once that's done this system will be
relegated to file serving duty using FreeNAS or something instead.

Ultimately fglrx doesn't like this graphics card and neither does
anything else.  It is truly a forgotten bastard child.
