Here is the log from term.log around the point of failure:

Slangasek might be right that X isn't crashed, but from the several
errors about it not being accessible at :0.0, it's at least not running
in a fashion that other things expect.  It would be handy to have the
Xorg.0.log and maybe /etc/X11/xorg.conf to check how X is configured.

I notice in the above that atieventsd is being started right prior to
xserver-xorg being configured.  One hypothesis is that perhaps this (or
some other step in the -fglrx config) resulted in changes that confused
the subsequent xserver-xorg configuration step.
