First, radeonfb can cause problems. Disable it. If you want or need a 
framebuffer driver for whatever reason, use vesafb.

Then, it looks like the radeon DRM driver is being loaded: I guess it is 
built into your kernel too. You have to get rid of that, otherwise the 
fglrx kernel module won't be able to access your graphics card.

Finally, it would be better to build agpgart as a module, otherwise 
you'll need to set option "UseInternalAGPGART" to "no" which is required 
if you have agpgart built into your kernel.

If you can't get it to work, please attach your XF86Config file, the 
complete XFree86.0.log file and the complete dmesg output, preferably by 
private mail to avoid bothering the list.

This is normal if you are using a VGA cable and not a digital (DVI) cable.

You are probably using the wrong resolution. LCDs have a fixed 
resolution, usually 1024x768 for 15" and 1280x1024 for 17" and 19"; any 
other resolution is interpolated to fill your whole display, but sharp 
graphics look very fuzzy, only games and videos look acceptable (but 
still not very good).

If that's not the problem, you might need to fine-tune your display 
settings. Most LCDs have an "Auto" button that does a reasonably good 
job of tuning the settings to the incoming signal.
