Same problem. I have tried: - 'nomodeset' and 'radeon.modeset=0', and many combinations of 'noapic', 'nolapic', 'noacpi' kernel options. - Ubuntu and Kubuntu Beta 2 live cds, and the Kubuntu Beta2 Alternate CD (all 64bit). - Failsafe graphic mode from boot menu (fails and returns to boot menu) - installing the ATI proprietary driver from the recovery console - 'apt-get update/upgrading' to the latest packages from recovery console.
In any combination of the above that I've tried, it's always the same behaviour: brief splash screen followed by blank screen. I would be happy with the most basic non-DRI 2D right now, but I can't even get that working as xorg.conf and 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' seem to be deprecated (replaced with what I don't know?) and 'X -configure' doesn't work either.
