I had the same problem on my up to date Kubuntu 8.04 Beta. The problem is that /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh can't locate a file. It's got the wrong path.

In /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh change this line:
   XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A$1*

to:
   XDM_AUTH_MASK=/var/run/xauth/A$1*

This solved the black screen hanging on logoff for me.

I'm not quite sure what to change if you're using Gnome, but I suspect it's this line:
    GDM_AUTH_FILE=/var/lib/gdm/$1.Xauth
