malheum, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Nothing at all is shown, they are just dead. However, Xorg works without any problems, I can login through GDM and use a Gnome session. I know that the blank virtual consoles are there because I can login "blind" and then see the logged in user when I use "who" in gnome- terminal. This is my graphics card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 [Mobility FireGL 9000] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Device 011d Flags: bus master, VGA palette snoop, stepping, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] I/O ports at c000 [size=256] Memory at fcff0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at fc000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [58] AGP version 2.0 Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: radeon Kernel modules: radeonfb, radeon The problem persists no matter what monitor I use, the builtin laptop screen, an external 22" tft from Dell connected with VGA or DVI or an Eizo tft connected by DVI cable. It also does not matter if I use my docking station (which has the DVI connector ) or not.
