Aha, there it is. It's getting a bit late for me to rebuild my kernel
tonight, so we'll see when I get to play with this again.

I started dumping different things in there in the vague hope I could
coax it work. :-P

The config I posted is based on that output. The raw xorg.conf.new
doesn't work for me, apparently because it can't autodetect the video
modes supported by the monitor. I copied resolution and other settings
from the Ubuntu config, and was able to get to my (partially) working
state that way.

Yes. In fact, if I try to switch consoles while X is running, I get a
completely black screen until I switch back to screen 7.

The console still accepts keyboard input, even if I can't see
anything; I can hit the up arrow and enter, and X successfully starts
again. I can also blindly type "reboot", hit enter, and the computer
does in fact reboot.

Google pulled up a few people that had similar problems with Ati
cards. Curiously, they experienced these symptoms when they installed
a mis-configured Ati driver, but the problem went away when they
returned to the vesa driver.
