ATI support

[Dario Castellarin]

Ok, I polished and modified it a bit, now backup your older xorg.conf 
and try with the attached one. Then reboot, and issue this command in a 
terminal: fglrxinfo
If your output is something like this, you're done:
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON XPRESS Series
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6334 (8.34.8)

If after this all you don't have 3D yet, please attach your 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file to the answer.
