The /proc/fb contents in your other post show that you actually are
using aty128fb... I took a look at the failing X server code, it looks
like it may have a bug which causes it to fail to recognize the
correlation between the PCI device and the framebuffer device. What does
find /sys -name \*fb0
say?
BTW, I noticed from the log file that you don't seem to be using Debian
but Arch Linux - may I ask why you're posting to a Debian mailing list
then? It would have been nice to at least state this clearly in the
original post...

Maybe the option defaults to on, check the r128 manpage.

Option "NoInt10"
may get you past this, but as I said, it might be tricky to get the r128
driver working without UseFBDev on an Apple laptop.
