I would start by cleaning up your xorg.conf. First, remove the Files section,
it is not needed. You can also completely remove the Modules section.
I think you could also delete the sections "DRI" and "Extensions", but
I am not positive on that. You could try commenting them out instead.
Then I would make a separate Device section for each driver and keep
the currently unneeded one commented out.
# Section "Device"
# Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. ATI Default Card"
# Driver "fglrx"
# Option "ForceMonitors" "LVDS,CRT1"
# Option "EnableMonitor" "crt1,lvds"
# Option "VideoOverlay" "True"
# Option "OpenGLOverlay" "False"
# BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
# EndSection
# (I presume those options are needed for fglrx?)
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. ATI Default Card"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
EndSection
Also, in section "ServerLayout" put:
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
...presuming you don't want to use the new hal-based
input system.
And if you want to be able to continue to use ctrl-alt-bs
to kill the X server, you can put this in:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "off"
EndSection
Just for fun, you might try purging and reinstalling
the drivers, then see what kind of results you get
with this setup.
Cheers,
