I'm running that exact hardware, and it runs fine (24 bit colour in X). 
  Here's my fbset output:

mode "1280x1024-60"
     # D: 107.991 MHz, H: 63.976 kHz, V: 60.015 Hz
     geometry 1280 1024 1280 1024 32
     timings 9260 227 69 38 1 112 3
     hsync high
     vsync high
     rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,8/24
endmode

The boot option is 'video=aty128fb:1280x1024@60'.

My XF86Config file is attached.
