It looks like you are still loading Gatos drm kernel driver (can't get too much from your corrupted log file). The drivers I sent you will NOT work with any Gatos drivers, it will lock up for sure if you still have the Gatos version of drm kernel driver (radeon.o) on your system to be loaded. Try to disable DRI or replace the DRI kernel driver (radeon.o) with the one from stock X4.2 or from Linux distributions like RH7.3. Specifying "ati" or "radeon" in your config file should give the same result. If not, your drivers are broken somehow. If you prefer to using Gatos drivers, posting your problem to Gatos forum may help you better. But I doubt they will have a better solution for your current problem.
