One thing you might try is installing Windows on it. They have ATI's own 
drivers (or you can grab them from webpage) so just in case X.Org did confuse 
video somehow, that should be able to restore it. I'd be also suspicious 
about xorg-documents first failing and then succeeding though. If there were 
more things failing in that way, it would certainly point to hardware 
troubles.
Anyway, good luck with the motherboard!
