Well - seems to be defined there.... hmmm. not sure why you are getting 
'undefined symbol' in atimisc_drv.so in that case. I am wondering if the 
problem is tied up with amd64 specifically - hopefully someone else will 
have some ideas :-).

In the meantime you could hack your xorg.conf to use 'vesa' driver and 
see if you can actually startup X - try adding modeline settings in 
there for your monitor if you still get 'out of range' (tho I must say 
I've *never* needed to put them in with Xorg...).

Also worth trying might be borrowing a DVI cable (assuming your monitor 
has a DVI input) and seeing if X works with it connected instead of the 
VGA one.
