First, never, ever, ever, ever run X as root. In this case, where you were just testing things to get them up and running, it's okay. Just remember to always use a normal user account to start X after it's working.

Important part of Xorg.0.log
Code:
(==) Log File: "/var/log/Xorg.0.org", Time date and time here
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Parse error on line 378 of section Device in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
"ATI" is not a valid keyword in this section.
(EE) Problem parsing the config file
(EE) Error parsing the config file
Fatal server error:
No Screens Found
When I open xorg.conf in /etc/X11 it only contains 141 lines. Obviously I am missing something here. The only reference to "ATI" I can find in xorg.conf is in the VendorName under the Identfier "card0".

Well, what's on line 378, and the few lines above that? Open /etc/X11/xorg.conf in ee, and it will show line numbers in the header.
