When I issue startx, there's a bit of tearing, and then it flashes xterm and finally goes blank. I can't do anything after that. Can't even zap X. I also tried this with the catalyst drivers.

I had almost the same set up, but my .xinitrc was like this
tint2 &
cairo-dock -o &
exec ck-launch-session fusion-icon
i like fusion-icon
also i used slim for a login manager i dont know if it makes a difference, i don't think your using a login manager since your using the startx command, what if you tried with a login manager if thats a route you would want to go

I fear I may have to use a display manager since killing X doesn't drop me to tty (so I have to do a hard reboot). But I'll get to that later.
So I tried changing
exec ck-launch-session compiz ccp
to
exec ck-launch-session fusion-icon
The good news is I no longer have to do a hard reboot. The bad news is the cause of not having to do a hard reboot is because I get a segmentation fault. Here's the log: https://pastee.org/h8zbq
I've got a Gateway NV79, which uses the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650.
I am pretty sure this is an issue with xorg.conf. I tried starting up a game in twm and it wouldn't run smoothly. The graphics were also pretty horrible.

bump, any ideas/suggestions?

One thing i noticed is that your xinitrc file doesn't have an & after every entry (except the compiz line which doesn't need one). So perhaps this could be causing issues for you. So I'd suggest writing an "&" after the first two entries and see if that helps at all.

Can you start an Xsession without compiz?
Line 474 is not good. You are dropping to the frame buffer. Install the mesa-demos for testing and see if you can get some hardware acceleration working first.
