Also when I use vesa drivers it work OK, but when I use fglrx logs are clean but I can see only black screen, sometimes with mouse cursor which isn't going to move - It is on the center of screen.

(I apologize to my English. I hope you will understand me )

You can try to put the following line in the 'Device' Section

    Option        "ShadowFB"

and create a the following somewhere in the file

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option        "AIGLX" "no"
