Ok...... Well, according to my research you can make it work with an older version of the proprietary driver and an older kernel. Take a look at the post I pointed you to above. Or I believe you can use the ati driver and still get 3d working with the appropriate configuration. It is up to you. If Sheeetin knows what to do, I will watch and learn. The errors in your log indicate to me that your card is not supported. Some are spurious, but some are catastrophic. Good luck.

EndSection
Identifier is the name you want to give your monitor.
The DPMS option is a power management option -but i am not sure about that anymore- anyway, it will certainly be compatible with your hardware.
HorizSync and VertRefresh options are often not necessary. However for me they are.
These are given in the example but are pretty much standard. You can refer to your monitor's documentation to find them.
The "Screen" section
It will basically look like that:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Radeon 9600"
Monitor "Generic Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900" "1024x768"
