what I can to get you up and running and learning Debian.

I believe the problem comes from an incompatibility between FGLRX
version 12-4-1 and xorg 1.12.
I've had the same symptoms and solved it by downgrading xorg to
1.11.4-1. Make sure to downgrade the input packages too.
Thanks for the feedback. Will try out and feedback the result.
