Are you sure you are using the radeon driver or just the vesa or like. The
problems with me were with the radeon driver. Vesa worked but it's not the same
fun. ;)

Just including the
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
for example. It didn't caused me problems, but remember I use the radeon driver.

Maybe it's not the same problems on you model, remember I own a X600 which is
one of the latest and more problematics.
