Build the fbdev in the kernel, not as a module, there are a number of
issues with fbdev's as module, especially on Macs where offb (the
default 8 bits framebuffer) will take over, preventing you from loading
the specific ATI driver on top of it anyway.
Then, use X "ati" driver with Option "UseFBDev" "true" in the "Device"
section.
