Indeed adding
Option AGPMode 4
fixes the problem!
Now I'm running Hardy w. KDE 4, I'll try Jaunty soon with this fix.
Thank you a lot Bryce!!
If there's still something I can do to get this fixed for others, let me
know!

[RV280 9200SE] Intrepid X crashes in RADEONDRIGetVersion (wrong
Based on the description of the symptoms, it sort of sounds like this
might be caused by an incorrect AGPMode setting, which is relevant when
DRI is enabled. You should test if changing this makes the issue go
away. In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf set AGPMode to various values like
this:
Section
Marked as confirmed - same behaviour on several releases (Intrepid,
Jaunty a4 a5 both on DVI and VGA). Change if you don't agree.
** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete = Confirmed
** Description changed:
My display adaptor:
01:00.0 VGA compatible
Tried this on Jaunty Alpha4 with a new monitor (DELL someting lcd) that
has both VGA and DVI connectors and the same problem with both cables:
the picture is fuzzy except the mouse cursor. Can I provide you with
more information?

I made a quick try with Jaunty live CD, xorg.log included. I guess nothing too
interesting there.
I have to give the intrepid installation hard drive for Windows :( a while so
let's see when I can do some more testing, if required.
** Attachment added: xorg.log from Jaunty Alpha3
Fresh Intrepid-Kubuntu-Alternate install and problem #1 appears, as
expected. Three requested files attached

Thanks; that helps a lot. In the log and backtrace, it seems to be
crashing when it's trying to open the DRM device:
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device or address)
