xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log

I see in the Xorg.0.log that AIGLX is turned off:
(**) Option "AIGLX" "off" dri/swrast_ dri.so
(II) Module glx: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.6.2, module version = 1.0.0
ABI class: X.Org Server Extension, version 2.0
(**) AIGLX disabled
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/
AIGLX is much better supported in -ati than -fglrx, so you should not need to disable it. In fact, this may be what is causing the sw rasterizer to be picked. Please test by moving aside your xorg.conf and restarting X, so it uses the built in defaults, and then attach your Xorg.0.log from that.
