Everyone I work with who uses the radeonhd drivers uses Gentoo. I agree with Coleman's assessment - it was said earlier in this thread that you'd likely need to upgrade your X server, it really is ancient, and likely Mesa too.
The output shows that the radeonhd driver does support your card and is detecting it, but something else is going wrong down the chain. Since newer Mesa's have expanded OpenGL support (ie, OpenGL 2.0) some apps may not even work unless you're running a semi-recent version of it. If Gentoo scares you, the newest OpenSUSE may be your best bet.
