This shouldn't be at duplicate of bug #264462. This bug talks about the restricted driver (eg. fglrx) and #264462 is about the open source radeon driver.
In Clueless xorg.conf it says 'Driver "fglrx" ', and not 'Driver "ati" '

 Also the "affected package" should be xserver-xorg-video-fglrx instead of xserver-xorg-video-ati
