Same problem with X800 GT, AMD64. X starts with 'fglrx', but then i get a lockup every time i try to switch to console, logout, reboot or shutdown. Under Breezy everything worked just fine. With 'ati' i get a 'device not found', and with 'vesa' i get a lockup immediately. I tried the above mentioned tips, but none worked for me (DRI and UseInternalAGPART). Any help is highly appreciated.
