Unstability issues with fglrx...

After the upgrade to Xorg 7.3, everything is unstable. X crashes constantly and I have to do a hard reboot. I can no longer start Compiz Fusion either. AIGLX is enabled. I am using 64bit. Everything was nice and stable before the upgrade...I am currently using vesa - no 3d games my xorg.conf:

Using the open source ati driver makes X start in 640x480. Even if I put resolution lines in it doesn't work...

Try it without AIGLX enabled - turn off both AIGLX and Composite. fglrx 8.42.3 generally sucks with AIGLX.

BTW, that second "ServerLayout" section should probably be "ServerFlags" since that's where the AIGLX option belongs.
