   00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c968 [Vision 968 VRAM] rev 0
   01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro AGP 1X/2X (rev 5c)


It looks like your ATI board is an AGP one. But your config file is
using the S3 one. So the problem could be that the driver is driving one
board while your monitor is plugged on the other one.

   Section "Device"
        Identifier	"S3 Inc. 86c968 [Vision 968 VRAM] rev 0"
	Driver		"vesa"
	BusID		"PCI:0:15:0"
	Option		"UseFBDev"		"true"
   EndSection


Can you try the following instead of the above section:

   Section "Device"
          Identifier "whatever you want"
          Driver "ati"
          BusID "PCI:01:00:0"
   EndSection


(BusID might not be needed)
