X crash the PC when exit from X (dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion)

Question

I installed Arch Linux on my new PC (had Arch on my 6 year old notebook for about 2 years) but each time I want to exit form X (KDE or TWN) crash the video output. The display switch to standby and the keyboard doesn't work any more, so I can't switch to a terminal.
My PC config:
Arch x86_64, new net installation up-to-date (pacman -Syu)
AMD X6, Radeon HD5830, dual head installation
I tried some AUR radeon-git driver (a lot of artefacts, exit from X works) , catalyst (closed source , radeon r300g on my notebook just rocks ). After all this installation of different drivers I set a new Arch Linux installation up (no KDE, only TWN). But the problem remains. With a remote ssh login I can access the crashed PC and shut it down or restart X and X starts again (now I can switch to a terminal until I exit again from X).
Terminal output when I start X over ssh:
abc@xsix ~]$ su root

[root@xsix abc]# startx

Answer 1

After add Repo from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=79509 and install
- dri2proto-git
- glproto-git
- libdrm-git
- mesa-full (replaces mesa, libgl and ati-dri)
- mesa-demos-git (optional: needed for glxinfo and glxgears)
- mesa-full-gallium (optional)
- xf86-video-ati-git
with Kernel 2.6.37 from testing (kernel26-drm-radeon-testing and linux-firmware-git not installed)
X don't crash any more
But exit from X isn't clean compare last few lines:
[root@xsix abc]# startx

Now I will install KDE again and hope there are no wired artefacts with this driver.
Btw, is it possible to move this topic to Desktop Environments?
