"startx -- -probeonly" also crashes linux when the ati drivers are
selected.

Here's the log, which ends somewhat abruptly.

[...]

(--) PCI: (0:13:0) ATI Mach64 GI rev 92, Mem @ 0x84000000/24, 0x81801000/12, I/O @ 0x0400/8
(--) PCI: (0:15:0) ATI Mach64 GI rev 92, Mem @ 0x83000000/24, 0x81800000/12, I/O @ 0x0400/8
(--) PCI: (0:18:0) ATI Mach64 GT rev 154, Mem @ 0x82000000/24, I/O @ 0x0400/8

(--) ATI(0): VideoRam: 1 kByte (EDO)

That's quite little VRAM :)

Do you have an atyfb for each head? If so, try also passing the "fbdev" option
with the devices for the ati driver.

The final two lines reject the two modes I generated with fbset.  Both are
considered ok by the fbdev driver.

(II) ATI(0): Maximum clock: 120.00 MHz
(WW) ATI(0): Mode "1152x870" deleted (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)
(WW) ATI(0): Mode "1280x1024" deleted (bad mode clock/interlace/doublescan)

Are the modes below 120 MHz? Have you tried uncommenting your mode definitions
so that is uses internal modes?
