After looking at your X config file it's appears the drim flat out fails.  
What version of mesa libs Do you have installed?  You might also have a look 
at and perhaps post the results of: 

ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears

Mine is as follows:

ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/glxgears
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 (0x40034000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x400b3000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400c2000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x401bf000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x401cf000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x401f1000)
        libXxf86vm.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXxf86vm.so.1 (0x40306000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4030b000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

Another thing that caught my attention is a warning about:

(WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device)

as well as:

(==) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
(**) Option "AllowMouseOpenFail"
(**) Option "Xinerama" "off"
(**) Option "RandR" "on"

You might try placing the section:

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option       "AllowMouseOpenFail"
  Option       "RandR" "on"
EndSection

Section "Module"
  Load         "dbe"
  Load         "extmod"
  Load         "freetype"
  Load         "v4l"
  Load         "type1"
  Load         "speedo"
  Load         "glx"
  Load         "dri"
EndSection

The "Flag" section in my X file is after the "Modules" are called up (though X 
doesn't always rely a specific sequence to init certain subsections.  But you 
might want to see if it makes a difference - the X error log you attach seems 
to indicates that the XF86Config file may be misconfiged.

Section "Module"
  Load         "dbe"

  Load         "v4l"
  Load         "dri"

_____________________________________________

Getting and optimizing the X radeon drivers can be dicey at best.  XFree86 has 
also been all but out right abandoned by many in Linux because of political 
and license questions.  "X.org" is a splinter org from X and is getting a 
fair amount of attention from the distros because it has a more open license, 
a few of the original devs from XF86, and is also adopting a more open 
development model that should result in faster development related to 
community involvement.  Unlocking the features of the ATI RV250 (9200?) using 
XF86 radeon drivers is not a guarantee that you performance will be viable 
for 3D games or advanced model development.  However if used for somthing 
like a lite CAD, simple Linux 3D game/program or similar it might suffice.

HTH.

Cheers, Curtis.
