   I have the same card and ati-drivers-8.561 works fine and is more stable   
   than the really too old (for this card) 8.501 you have.

   Remove all the options from xorg.conf so you have a clean one.  Update   
   to ati-drivers-8.561 and then run:   
      
      aticonfig --initial   
      
   followed by:   
      
      eselect opengl set ati   
      
   Do not reintroduce any options in xorg.conf.  Only what aticonfig puts   
   in there.  It's best to start with a totally clean xorg.conf (like   
   you've never used ati-drivers) before running aticonfig --initial.
