flgrx is delivered as only binary and Ati says that this binary driver will
only work for 6.8, it is not a constraint from xorg.

I found that the xorg 6.8 locked my system (desktop) so I had to upgrde to 6.9
and no problems now with a Radeon X600. Are you using composite? I would advise
to put it off in case of problems. And in case of more problems I would disable
all accelarations just to try to debug the problem Option "NoAccel" in the
xorg.conf.

FYI, I use 1280x1024.

As I told you before I wouldn't use 6.8 for this card.
