you have to load dri in the modules section first (and glx maybe too).
BUT from your log: your card is to new for dri/render, so it falls back to 
some.. I don't know-mode ;)

but you can try to load them. Change this:
# This loads the GLX module
#    Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
#    Load       "dri"

to this:
# This loads the GLX module
   Load       "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
   Load       "dri"

but I am pretty sure, that it will not help much.
Hm - xv and ATI were never good friends...
