Why use a pastebin if you're not going to include the entire contents.
Besides, attaching the file would have made your message self-contained.

I'd try with a minimal xorg.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "WhatEver"
Driver "fglrx"
EndSection
or even *no* xorg.conf and the radeon driver. Please mind fglrx might be
blacklisting the necessary radeon kernel module (at least nvidia has to
with nouveau), so it might not work without a few tweaks.
Kind regards,
