Hello Kevin!
I analized your XFree86 Log file, it looks very similar to mine.

The only difference is that my panel is working ok, and XFree86 doesn't
report (WW) ATI(0): Built-in mode "Native panel mode" deleted (hsync out of
range) on startup.
As you see Horizontal kHz and Vertical Refresh Hz are different on your chip
and mine.
I am using XFree86-4.0.1-26mdk.
Monitor section in XF86Config
Section "Monitor"

So I suggest you can try these settings.
Hope this can help you.
