Are you sure you removed the fglrx stuff _entirely_ when testing with
xserver-xorg-video-ati? fglrx changes some GL libraries, it could cause
problems if you just switch from fglrx to ati in xorg.conf without
removing ati.

Could you try upgrading to Lenny/testing xserver-xorg-core 1.3 and
xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.192 currently in experimental?
