If you are using ATI's drivers from their website then you must use only their 
configuration programs and methods. IF you use Sax2 after loading ATI's 
drivers then you will have trouble. Don't know if this part of the problem or 
not. You can always delete/rename/move the XF86Config* files and start over 
with one method or the other but not both.

The key is probably the monitor setting. If you have Windows *.inf files for 
that monitor, copy them to a floppy and load them up IF you are using Sax2. 
You can also add the monitor's parameters 
to /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/api/data/cdb/Monitors and choose it using Sax2. 

Can't remember how the ATI setup program runs and where you can specify the 
monitor parameters...
