ATI FGLRX and Logging Off

[Larry Hartman]

Previously I reported that the ATI proprietary driver FGLRX 8.36.5 for Linux 
kernel 2.6.20 was very unstable.  I now have it working and appears to come 
up without any noticeable problems on successive restarts.....I did about 50 
of them tonight working with the problem below.  The ATI card I have is a 
Radeon 200M Xpress on an HP dv8000 laptop.

Here is the problem:  

When I log in, I can do a shutdown and a restart from the GUI.  I can not do 
an end session.  When clicking the button, kdm does not load and I get the 
Kubuntu usplash.  This does not happen with the open source ATI driver, only 
with FGLRX.  Can anyone out there duplicate this issue?  This feels like a 
bug to me.....interaction between FGLRX and some other module?

My xorg.conf is listed below.
