Last line in your Xorg.log:

[ 284.611] (II) SMI(0): Setting screen physical size to 270 x 158

That's the problem, your monitor can't support that resolution.

You need to add a Section "Screen" that lists the resolutions your monitor can support, something along the lines of

Section "Screen"

Subsection "Display"
        Depth       8
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubsection
Subsection "Display"
        Depth       32
