HIS Radeon HD 6870 configuration in Debian wheezy

Hello
I need help with radeon hd 6870 setup in debian wheezy. I'm a linux newbie.

Autodetection did not work, since I only have low resolution enabled (max
1280x1024)
I did the search and found Debian AtiHowTo document.
I checked the driver and I have already proper one named "radeon" installed
(judging by synaptic package manager)
Then I checked xorg.conf and there wasn't any in /etc/X11
So I run "Xorg -configure" as root after booting in safe mode and got
segmentation fault.

attachements:
"Xorg -configure" output - log.txt
xorg.conf.new from /root directory

I can attach log mentioned in "Xorg - configure" output -
/var/log/xorg.0.log if needed

Copying xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf didn't change anything.

Anyone willing to help?
