Hello,
my box: acer aspire 51O2wlmi (amd64)
dist: Debian unstable (gnome metacity)

aticonfig --initial :
Uninitialised file found, configuring.
Using /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Saved back-up to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-1
*** glibc detected *** aticonfig: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x00007fff29170f8a ***
........

I know that there is a problem with the driver ATI and linux, but atconfig --initial
remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf (and save it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.original-1)
and, witout /etc/X11/xorg.conf, startx launches xwindow like charm.

What have I missing ?

No. It is experimental and I thought that the problem was not solved.
Finaly I installed the proprietary driver ATI and all work fine:
aticonfig --initial created /etc/X11/xorg.conf and startx runs fine.
fgl_glxgears runs fine.
amdcccle runs fine. (not segmentation fault)

But I would like to know, how, whitout the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, startx
launch xwindow ?
I think that it's xserver-xorg-video-ati which works ...? But how ?

I got the driver here:
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/l...64-radeon.html
I used a tuto locate here:
http://www.nuxo.net/tutorial-37.html
(It's in french language but the part in Debian language is clear)
hth.
