I can confirm that *without* xserver-xorg-video-ati installed:

1. If I comment out the virtual directive, there is no crash.
2. If I remove xorg.conf completely, there is no crash.

There is still a bunch of diagnostics in the log file:

[255110.061] (==) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
[255110.264] (==) FBDEV(0): Backing store disabled
[255110.264] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument
[255110.264] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument
[255110.264] (EE) FBDEV(0): FBIOPUTCMAP: Invalid argument
[ ... ]


Once I install xserver-xorg-video-ati, I can remove xorg.conf and it
runs using the RADEON driver.

Thanks again for the help.

Cheers,
-Steve
