If I understand it correctly, their problem was in running acpi
services.

I played with it (although the configuration is different from Debian)
and ended in manual start -- no automatic X.
I normally boot (e.g. including acpi, acpid is running), then manually
"modprobe fglrx", then "startx".

Interestingly, it starts, but without back light -- I can see processes
in "ps aux", but the terminal 7 is black. Text terminals (1-6) are
working normally.

I tried also the normal boot -- flgrx in /etc/modules and gdm started
from /etc/init.d/S99gdm. It works well -- blindly. If I enter my
credentials, it starts my session, but the screen remains black.

It seems, that the main problem is the back light.
