Yes, since your system doesn't know about the RadeonHD driver
it 'fixes' your config you overwriting it with a config file
for VESA.
You don't have to do a lot to 'fix' this.
I think the following steps should ve sufficient:
1. Locate the "Device" section. Replace 'vesa' as a driver with 'radeonhd'.
2. Locate the "Screen" section(s). 
   a. Comment out any references to "Monitor"  sections.
   b. add your favorite resolution to the "Mode" list.

After that be sure you keep a copy of the config so you can
restore it when the update process has felt it needed to 'fix' 
it again.

Cheers,
        Egbert.
