I did not use anything from ATI, but well, I have a different Radeon
card. I just think the monitor can't handle the resolution, or [h|v]sync
values, recheck that you have them correctly for the right modell of the
monitor.

Please check that your monitor really can use 1280x1024 resolution.
Also, you may change the Display subsection to use more modes:
Modes "1024x768" "1280x1024" "800x600"
And even if you screen goes black, try ctrl+alt+'+' on the keypad and
ctrl+alt+'-' to dynamically switch modes. Try the "ati" driver as well.
Oh, are you English? Sorry for my poor writing then. :)

Yup. But even better is 'XFree86 -configure' (maybe with two dashes), and
test that configuration.
