The most significant differences between your and mine are the
following sections.

Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "dri"
        Load    "evdev"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "vbe"
EndSection

I have not GLcore line and direct rendering works fine for me. Also I
don't know what the purpose of 'Option "omit xfree86-dga"' was, but I
think it was dropped at the time X.org entered unstable or shortly after
in my configuration.

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R200 QL [Radeon
                          8500 LE]"
	Driver          "ati"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"    
EndSection

I don't know if it is valid to specify radeon any more? I had a problem
with it at one point and when I did 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' it
wasn't shown as an option anymore. I never tried any of the extra
options so I don't have any input to give there.

Later, Seeker
