After a *lot* of googling, I discovered that the problem with the xorg
driver is the glx module. Disabling it I can use the xorg ati driver
without problems. And I can run totem and grace too! (they didn't work
with the driver from ATI) fortunately the machine is only for work, so I
can do perfectly well without the glx module... I guess
