Symptom: ati driver shows gdm login screen but crashes on first input event. fglrx crashes after login in default session (probably due to compiz being used) or when using any 3d stuff in failsafe session. Using a USB mouse makes problem go away for ati.
Will try mouse + fglrx and -386 kernel next and report back
