Hi !!

Ok, I'll try that today. But unfortunately I'm quite sure it wont
work :( 

I installed latest fglrx driver yesterday. I used ATI installer which
generated Debian packages. When I installed those packages I got again
the same result: corrupted screen and crash...

I attached my xorg.conf, maybe you can see some problems in it. In that
case I just don't understand why fglrx 8-7-3 and earlier works just
fine, but 8-12-4 and later versions don't..
