Forwarding this bug from a Ubuntu user (other users report similar behavior on various iMac flavors): https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/22976
"I found two problems:
1. The BusID was set to PCI:6:3:0 in xorg.conf - it should have been PCI:0:16:0.
2. Even with the correct BusID in xorg.conf the sync freqs were not probed correctly.
Here are the changes I had to make to xorg.conf to get X started:
