I installed latest ati driver from git to test textured video and new exa and 200m fixes. xorg starts but fonts is very big. For example: my default font is Tahoma 8 - with this driver it looks like Tahoma 64. So desktop is absolutely unusable. I tried EXA and XAA: the result is the same. My server version is 1.4.0.90. Video card - radeon xpress 200m (5955).
Your monitor does not provide an edid, so the server does not know what size display you have. You can use xrandr to set the display size, or add the display size to the monitor section of your config. xrandr --fbmm XxY or DisplaySize X Y Replace X and Y with the width and height of your monitor in mm.
My monitor section: Section "Monitor" #UseModes "16:10" Identifier "monitor1" VendorName "Plug'n Play" DisplaySize 333 209 Option "DPMS" EndSection I have a notebook and everything ok with driver v. 6.8.0. So I think the problems are with latest changes.
option IgnoreEDID helped me. But anyway I think there is something wrong in the driver code.

there is no edid so we have no way of knowing what size your monitor is. You'll need to specify the display size in your xorg config file. You'll need to change the identifier of your monitor to LVDS if you want to associate it with your panel rather than the VGA port: Identifier "LVDS" Please see this page for more on xrandr configuration: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12
