Is the fglrx kernel module loaded properly? Your Xorg.0.log shows that you are using the fglrx driver, but the 3D part of it failed to initialize.

 It is always a bug when a program exits with an assertion failure, so it ought to be fixed by ATI. You can probably get things working on your system by making sure the drivers are installed properly. e.g.
install the fglrx packages and then reboot, to make sure the fglrx kernel module is loaded.

The .deb packages have a problem on amd64 (http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1695), although it doesn't affect 32-bit systems like yours.
