Since my last comment I have bought a new card, a HD3870. With my old card (X600) everything worked flawless after the changes to /etc/ati/authatieventsd.sh but now I got a hard-lock (have to power cycle) when I logout of KDE or try to swap user. Shutdown and restart works correct though. I have tried Catalyst 8.3 through 8.7 with the same result. After some extensive search and testing I found that disabling AIGLX by adding:

Section "ServerFlags"
        Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf resolves that situation. This is a complete different bug though, as I can reproduce it with or without atieventsd running. But this could be a solution to you people who still got lockups when logging out.
