There's more than one bit of blue at depth 24; there are 8 bits of blue
(and 8 bits of green, and 8 bits of red).

Do you mean that the entire blue channel is missing at depth 24?

Can you elaborate?  What do solid red, blue, and green look like?

% xlogo -fg red -bg black
% xlogo -fg green -bg black
% xlogo -fg blue -bg black

The atimisc driver is automatically loaded if you use a chipset that
requires it.  The "ati" driver is the right choice.

Quoting your logfile:

(II) Loading sub module "atimisc"
(II) LoadModule: "atimisc"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/atimisc_drv.o

So you are actually using the atimisc driver.
