Have you tried creating a modeline for your monitor? That is what fixed it for
me, although I didn't have the IO errors like you are getting.

From this part of your Xorg log:
(II) RADEON(0): clock: 108.0 MHz   Image Size:  338 x 270 mm
(II) RADEON(0): h_active: 1280  h_sync: 1328  h_sync_end 1440 h_blank_end 1688 h_border: 0
(II) RADEON(0): v_active: 1024  v_sync: 1025  v_sync_end 1028 v_blanking: 1066v_border: 0

I would try and have a section like this in my xorg.conf

Section "Monitor"
	Identifier	"Standardbildschirm"
	ModeLine	"1280x1024" 108.0 1280 1328 1440 1688 1024 1025 1028 1066
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier	"Default Screen"
	Device		"ATI Technologies, Inc. RV350 [Mobility Radeon 9600 M10]"
	Monitor		"Standardbildschirm"
	DefaultDepth	24
	SubSection "Display"
		Depth		24
		Modes		"1280x854" "1280x1024"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

cheers,

John
