I uninstalled and reinstalled all X11 xorg packages. It din't fix anything.
Today I deinstalled the xinit package and fglrx then reinstalled xinit and the ATI package.
To try to debug, I launched xinit via strace and I was able to see that my user files .Xauthority .Xauthority-c .Xauthority-l were owned by root and not overwritable by my user processes. So I deleted them. (Probably, I created them when I did some tests)
Then I reboot my box to get the traces but this time, it worked !

I still don't know what was the problem. I have some doubts that the xinit package was the cause.
The ATI package install/uninstall is may be somewhere a bit different from the fglrx one. May be the Xauthxx files stuck X.
I dunno.
So now my problem is fixed, and I'm absolutly sure of ... nothing :(
