Dual Monitor problems

I'm using FreeBSD 6.1 (by way of PC-BSD 1.2) and I'm trying to
get my ATI x850 card to work with dual monitors. I have the
xorg.conf set up correctly (see my blog post on the long hard
battle to get that beachhead secured here:
http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/archives/000744.html
)
but now I've run into further resistance and I can't seem to
work around it. Soon after I get running using the dual monitors,
the whole machine just freezes. This always happens, and usually
while KDE is putting up its tip dialog box. I've tried using a
different window manager (like fluxbox) but that didn't seem to
help. Soon after logging in, the whole machine freezes solid.
Anything else I can try? What sorts of things can I tweak? I
run just fine if I don't do that dual monitor thing. You can
see more or less what my xorg.conf file looks like on my blog
post. I don't see any errors anywhere, including Xorg.0.log or
.xsession-errors, or anything else in /var/log. The whole machine
just freezes up.
