Sad to say but I think you are out of luck.

Gatos ( http://gatos.sourceforge.net ), which had some support for the 
"theater" chip used in some Radeons, seems pretty much dead.  But 
really, Gatos stuff that requires kernel modules hasn't worked right, 
(not "out of the box" right anyway), on redhat since around 7.2 even 
though you can still see in your X.log:
 
(!!) RADEON(0): For information on using the multimedia capabilities
        of this adapter, please see http://gatos.sf.net.

Oh well!

This post to the gatos devel list seems to indicate that there may be 
ATI2, Xorg binaries in the near future.
