Bug#376203: xserver-xorg won't configure and won't run with ATI Radeon

[Gary Dale <garydale@rogers.com>]

I did do an install on a system with an ATI video on the main board 
recently and it worked - but using the VESA drivers due to the recent 
nature of the video chipset.  That would be a different system however.

The system I had the problem on is now relegated to running XP - mainly 
because some of my customers like getting real MS Word documents. The 
most I can tell you is that does boot with Knoppix.

I've been running Linux on an AMD64 system for a long time now. I've got 
an NVidia board in it that runs fine with the open source drivers. Since 
it's running Lenny, I won't touch the closed-source drivers - too much 
of a hassle with the upgrades.  :)

Sorry, but the issue is too old for me too.
