Sounds similiar to a problem i had with my monitor, i'm still not sure why
it does it but if i start X in 1024x768 it goes to sleep (only with the
savage driver mind, vesa worked). The only way i managed to get around it
was to start up in 1152x864.

It's a wierd problem, but i think it's more to do with the monitor than
the card, (mines an LG Studioworks 700s)

As for the log, as root try
chmod u+r e XFree86.0.log

Good luck
