Crash during booting in dixAllocatePrivate()

Bug #359880 reported by stz_comp on 2009-04-12

Affects		Status	Importance	Assigned to	Milestone
	fglrx-installer (Ubuntu)	Fix Released	Medium	Unassigned

Bug Description

This crash was probably caused by the fact, that I have modified xorg.conf. However, several boots before this crash were OK. Another bug, the matter to modify the xorg.conf, is that by using two monitors, the "fglrx" driver joins both screens also for maximized windows and fullscreen mode contrary to basic opensource driver.
