Cannot start X on ATI x1250 [SOLVED]

So i freshly installed Arch.
I make xorg.conf with

# Xorg -configure

and then try to test it with

# X -config /root/xorg.conf.new

What I get is a blank screen, so my Asus MW221 shows me a blank screen, in Asus' menu it shows to have 1680x1050 resolution... i press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE and I return to console. If i select "ati" driver in xorg.conf, same thing happens, only Asus' menu shows 1152x864 resolution, and CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE doesn't turn me back to console.
This is the xorg.conf

    EndSubSection
EndSection

It tried hwd  xorgconfig, they generate xorg.conf-s which don't work also.
Could anyone help with this problem please?
Also, here's the Xorg.0.log if you can make something out of it...

NVM, I was a fool smile I instaled the radeon drivers, and set u p xorg.conf accordingly, now it works obviously... Shouldn't have used the ati drivers... More reading next time.

Cheers!
