Can you try removing (or commenting out) some lines in xorg.conf as
explained below?

I don't like that. We've seen this several times but I never understood
what caused it.

That's the main problem, the driver does not detect your monitor at all.
How is your monitor plugged?
Driver 6.7.192 has a new option for Mac machines (to be added to the
Device section). From the manpage:
Option "MacModel" "string"
Used to specify Mac models for connector tables and
quirks. Only valid on PowerPC.
ibook -- ibooks
powerbook-duallink -- Powerbooks with dual link DVI
powerbook -- Powerbooks with single link DVI
The default value is undefined.
Can you try playing with it?
