Have you tried in xorg.conf actually specifying the "radeon" driver instead of "ati", it shouldn't make any difference but...
Driver "radeon"
have a look at the man page

you can probably find a more appropriate version on your PC, there are
lodes of driver options, some of which are just there to overcome flaky
implementations, if you can get the OS drivers to work it's well worth
the effort, particularly now that ATI, in their infinite wisdom, have
dropped support for older radeon GPUs from fglrx.
