Tis int engels omda ik het ook op engels forum heb gezet:
Hello,
This is kinda hard to describe... I'll try my best ;-)
When Composite = enabled:
No real problems except that i dont have direct rendering...
When Composite = disabled:
The fglrxinfo tells me i use ATi technologies or something like that
so the driver works fine...
i get direct rendering: Yes
BUT
here come the problems:
If i start fluxbox: instant kernel panic/crash (the keyboard leds flash or the computer crashes)
If i start kde: all works well (i can watch the fglrxinfo and all) but then after a while, or when i start some program (amsn supposedly crashed it once, so did irssi) i get the same problem as with fluxbox...
If i look in /var/log/messages i never got an error except once, with irssi, the error i got was:
Now i would like to disable composite without my computer crashing, but i dont know why it crashes...
My Xorg.conf:
I hope someone can help me, and understands this thread
Another thing i found in /var/log/messages that was written before every crash:
I have no idea what it means but the last line with TIM = 0 doesnt seen right 
i really dont get it
so i changed composite to disabled, started KDE, all was fine, started an aterm, fglrxinfo showed me the Ati stuff, did an fgl_glxgears => i saw the cube with the gears spinning, got about 500 FPS... then when i shut the fgl_glxgears down, i get another kernel panic and then 2 boots the same untill i enabled composite again....
lange post hihi

i really dont get it

so i changed composite to disabled, started KDE, all was fine, started an aterm, fglrxinfo showed me the Ati stuff, did an fgl_glxgears => i saw the cube with the gears spinning, got about 500 FPS... then when i shut the fgl_glxgears down, i get another kernel panic and then 2 boots the same untill i enabled composite again....
