the ati git driver only allows you to use the DVI port in conjunction
with the LVDS port.  It's still not hotplug aware, so you can use the
DVI port while docked and then have it automagically switch to the
LVDS port on undock yet.

Your are missing some build dependencies.  Make sure you have
xorg-devel packages installed.
