xorg log from the green screen

I have here an ASUS M2N-V running 32 bit Archlinux with GIT head xf86-driver-ati and drm. I booted my system with only a TV connected to the TV-Out plug. Then I disconnected the TV and connected a VGA screen. After starting X, the driver detected the output change and activated the VGA screen. The strange thing was, that everything was green!

There was still red color when I watched a movie, but no white and no blue. I have tested the VGA screen and it is ok. If I attach the VGA at bootup already, all colors are ok,so the situation is unique to changing outputs between bootup and X start. I cannot test the colors on TV-OUT as this doesn't work ATM.

I have attached a Xorg startup log from the "green" situation and will also attach a log from a situation, where the VGA was already attached at bootup.

As Roland pointed out in the other report, the board is actually a ASUS M2A-VM, my bad, sorry about that.
