Now that you're using the ati driver 6.8.0, you want to drop your
xinerama config and switch to using RandR 1.2. So your xorg.conf should
be largely modified to remove all xinerama stuff and have a single
Device section. See http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 for
details about RandR 1.2 configuration. Feel free to ask questions if needed.

I don't remember if this is the case here, but there are some cases
where the server crashes if you use an old non-RandR-1.2 config, and the
upstream devs doesn't want to fix it unfortunately. So in any case,
switching to RandR 1.2 will be better.
