Difficult one as with any change as this is version specific so upto 1.9 
it is -fs and later it is -f

You need to remove freevo from the possible problems by running Xorg and 
typing the command line in to an xterm window. The command line will be 
in the main*log files when debug is active. This procedure is standard 
problem solving technique and it should reveal what the problems are.

In the past the ATI drivers were pretty poor but I've no experience with 
later drivers, maybe they are better since AMD took over ATI.
