I am sorry, I can't see a clear reply here to my question above. Does the
bug occurs with single-head ATI? Or do you only see it when both nVidia and
ATI heads are enabled?

What if you change "ati" to "vesa" in the config? What if you use "vesa"
for both heads? You won't get DRI during this test, but it could help us
locating the problem in the driver(s) or in the core.
