ati on xorg, freeze changing vt

It's great to see xorg supported, though it has been an absurdly long wait...they seem to forget that we pay for this hardware!

When changing vt, restarting x, or shutting down i get a blank screen, if i then try to change to another vt x freezes, worse is that sometimes the screen corrupts and a gradually brightening whiteness sweeps across it, an unnerving experience!

My Xorg.0.log is apparently fine, and doesn't report this error fully, with the exception of this line:

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such file or directory)

This is my xorg.conf;

I'm completely lost with this problem, especially since there isn't any specific mention in the logs of what might be happening.

Any help is hugely appreciated.
