You did not run "aticonfig --initial" and therefore your xorg.conf is not setup properly. Run aticonfig --initial and reboot. Make sure your kernel is not compiled with built-in radeon support, and make sure the "radeon" kernel module is not loaded (by blacklisting it in a *.conf file in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, with a line that says "blacklist radeon".)
