had this problem last week on an HP ze5170. I didn't have to install any
other software to get it to work. Here is my work around:
dpkg-reconfigure --p=low xserver-xfree86
Choose the vesa driver Not the ati one
Insert amount of video ram available in KB (ie.. if you have 4MB you would
enter 4096)
For screen setup choose advanced
h-sync 16-43
v-sync 43-75
Be sure to choose the 1024x768 and below
Any other options accept the defaults or leave blank
After you get X up and running then you can go back and try fixing the ati
driver is you choose to.
