It appears this is a (bug? feature?) of Xorg: Radeons X600 Series (ID 
0x5B62) aren't included in correct CHIP_FAMILY in driver. Workaround: add
ChipID 0x5b60
to "Device" section of xorg.conf (passing for X300). More permanent 
solution: apply this one-liner:

*** programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_driver.c.orig	Thu Jun 23 00:56:51 2005
--- programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/ati/radeon_driver.c	Thu Jun 23 00:57:08 2005
