Can you post emerge --info
Can you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf that is crashing your laptop ?
Also, did you try the xorgconfig methode instead ? |

to configure xorg.conf the first time for fglrx you need to use aticonfig (provided with ati-drivers)
| Code: |
1. Setting up fglrx for the first time.
Single head : aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Dual head : aticonfig --initial=dual-head --screen-layout=above
This command will generate a dual head configuration
file with the second screen located above the first
screen.
|
you should also consider to update to ati-drivers-8.40.4, but hey, ati-drivers are universally known to suck a lot 
edit: to run aticonfig --initial you need the sample xorg.conf file (/etc/x11/xorg.conf.example, just rename it to xorg.conf) |

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A215-S7422, which contains an ATI X1200. I managed to get this working with the fglrx driver using only the laptop's LCD display. The Xorg ati driver doesn't recognize the X1200. However, when I plug in an external CRT and set up xorg.conf for dual monitor display, the fglrx driver crashes with this:
| Code: |

Ok, this is strange. I was playing around (trying unsuccessfully to get sound working) and found the ATI Control Panel in the menu. Having tried every possible alternative i could come up with, I figured what the heck, I'll let the Control Panel give it a shot. I was running in LCD panel-only mode; the CRT was showing a clone of what was on the LCD. Unbelievably, the control panel came up with a working configuration! All it added was
Option "DesktopSetup" "horizontal"
The laptop panel comes up in native resolution: 1280x800. The CRT comes up in 1024x768 at 85 Hz vertical. xrandr reports
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 800, maximum 2560 x 864
default connected 2560x800+0+0 0mm x 0mm
2560x800 60.0*
I thought initiailly it just must have automatically detected the CRT resolutions and picked one. But it truth, it (whatever component "it" is that is controlling all this: X, Gnome, metacity, ?) actually does think it has 1280x800 on the CRT. I have my panel on the bottom and the time was not showing. So I put my mouse in the bottom right corner of the CRT, slid it down "a little bit" and right clicked, and the clock menu appeared! So the panel is being extended across both displays, but it is off-screen on the CRT. If I move the panel to the top, I see the whole thing. I guess "it" really thinks the CRT is in 1280x800 mode, because it doesn't move the visible portion around if I move the mouse offscreen; it did that when I was in clone mode, so it new then that the CRT had a smaller visible area than the laptop panel.
Finally, having a working configuration, I wanted to test PairMode with that configuration, so I added one for 1280x800+1024x768. Once again, X crashed. So apparently PairMode just doesn't work with this driver. Not perfect, but at least I have dual displays again.
