Hi Norbert,

The pre R600 cards (which includes your X700) are no longer supported by the 
fglrx driver. When updating you probably moved from an older version of 
fglrx that still supported your card to a more recent version without 
support.

Try removing fglrx altogether, and install the xf86-video-ati driver (and 
mesa, if you want 3D) instead. With a recent X server, you should also 
remove your xorg.conf. The X server should detect your card correctly and 
load the appropriate graphics driver automatically. Your default keyboard 
layout setting is probably best handled by an appropriate entry in a modular 
settings file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d.

HTH.

Magnus
