Good for all list, have a nice day...
1.- Johannes I remember, you tried with xorgcfg or xorgconfig?... I don't
remember if you test with Xorg -configure, if you don't then try..

jejejeje... excuse me.. but I can't sleep without solve that problem :D
(it's a joke), but really after you try with that do aticonfig --initial,
because, if I am not wrong, the problem is because aticonfig can't find a
"legal" xorg.conf, well with the below commands you can generate a "legal"
xorg.conf and will modify with aticonfig...

2.- Remy have you some problem with your configuration or it's only to know?

Note: Please excuse for my english, I am still learning.

Thanks for your answers :D
