What's wrong with my xorg.conf?
I just installed Arch + KDEmod and I think I'd like it, but I can't get any video driver to work correctly. The open-source ati driver crashes immediately (just like in Ubuntu, I could never get that one to work) so I'm trying to catalyst drivers. However, it can't go to GUI at all; it gives me an error about no available screens or something. I looked at my xorg.conf and it looks okay... what's the problem?
Radeon 9500 Pro, btw. xorg configured with Xorg -configure

Re: What's wrong with my xorg.conf?
Heres my, maybe it can help you out somehow:
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Re: What's wrong with my xorg.conf?
There seem to be a number of things missing from your xorg.conf. See here: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI. Did you run aticonfig?

Re: What's wrong with my xorg.conf?
Backup your current xorg configuration and then run xorgconfig, with any luck that should spit out a usable configuration.
