My xorg.conf

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 ("RV350 AP" chip, apparently) on a machine running
Fedora 9. With a basic X.org configuration, the X server starts up successfully
but I only get a blank screen. With the proprietary driver, I get normal
output. (Well, I have historically; currently fglrx and F9 don't play well
together.)

This may be related to my monitor: a Dell 3007WFP with maximum resolution of
2560x1600. If I start X using the vesa driver, I also get either a blank screen
or mangled output, where the GDM greeter is sheared horizontally really badly.
(Whether I see something or nothing varies as I hit Ctrl-Alt-+ in vesa mode.)

I'll attach my xorg.conf and a log from starting up the server.

I'd really rather not have to use the proprietary driver, so I'm happy to help
debug however possible. I'm a longtime Linux user and programmer so I'm
comfortable doing tricky stuff to my system.
