Something is not right, that's clear.
Paste your xorg.conf here so we can see what's wrong.
Unfortunately ATI gives problems, nvidia is far better for Linux

The ATI proprietary driver does not support composite extensions and will not work with Beryl/Compiz unless you install XGL as well. Or you could revert to the open-source ATI driver.

See here for instructions on running Beryl with the open-source ATI driver. You can skip the parts about installing beryl since you already have it. But follow the parts about getting the open-source driver configured correctly.

If you want to use the fglrx ATI proprietary driver with XGL, look here:

Generally the open-source driver is recommended.
