I've been using ATI cards with Linux since 1992 and they've always worked great for me. One problem I've noticed with sax is that it doesn't detect the proper model of my card and so, like in your case, the resolution and scan frequencies aren't set up right. The only solution I've found so far is to edit the xorg.conf file by hand. After you have a correct configuration, make a backup of that file, make it read-only, and whenever you run sax, boot into level 3, copy the backup file back into xorg.conf. Then you can go into level 5 and things should be fine.
