This sounds pretty definitively like an upstream driver bug. I'm tweaking the bug parameters accordingly. In the meantime I can only advise that you stick to color depth 8 (though depth 15 might be worth a try). I know that sucks. :( -- G.

The atimisc driver is automatically loaded if you use a chipset that requires it. The "ati" driver is the right choice. Quoting your logfile: (II) Loading sub module "atimisc" (II) LoadModule: "atimisc" (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/atimisc_drv.o So you are actually using the atimisc driver. -- G.

Bug#254288: xserver-xfree86: [ati] Drops blue bit at depth 24-bit
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 ATi driver seems to drop the blue bit at 24-bit colour. Red and yellow colours showing fine. Colours very messed up at 16-bit. Colours fine at 8-bit. I know I probably should be using the atimisc driver, but the X-server wont even start when atimisc is selected.
