X11 Error: Screen 1 deleted because of no matching config section


I just installed AMD official drivers (got a Radeon HD 7970M) on my Slackware64 and then I generated a new xorg.conf with aticonfig --initial -f.
But now, startx fail systematically, and there is the error part of the logs:

Code:
[   481.457] (II) fglrx(0): pEnt->device->identifier=0x206fc40
[   481.457] (II) intel(1): pEnt->device->identifier=(nil)

Fatal server error:

However, when I delete that config file it works fine. I uninstalled xf86-video-ati, I blacklisted radeon and radeonhd in modprobe configuration, and there is the content of the problematical xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
        Identifier     "aticonfig Layout"
        Screen      0  "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection

Section "Module"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
        Option      "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
        Option      "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
        Option      "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Driver      "fglrx"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0"
        Device     "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
        Monitor    "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection
Does anyone have an idea of why? Thanks in advance.

Someone may know answer for sure but see this to start.

"Now that KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) for graphics cards has (mostly) stabilized,
it is enabled by default for intel, ati, and nvidia graphics chipsets. It
is possible to disable it use "nomodeset" as a kernel append in lilo.conf,
but Xorg will not work at all on intel and ati chips if you do that."
