Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

I have an ATI Raderon X1250 card, using a hp 6715s notebook with an amd
sempron 3600+ processor (64-bit capabale) and 1gig ram.  Using the
alpha2 live cd, I got exactly the same error message as those in bug
#174434. I tried to copy over all the relevant log files via ssh to post
them there. But before I had the time to do that, the screen just turned
black, and the computer froze completely. This happened several times,
every time within a few minutes. So, every time, before I had the time
to scp the files over, the computer froze.

With the alpha3 live-cd, things has gotten worse:
- With usplash enabled it get's quite far in the booting process, and then 
suddenly just turns blank, and freezes completely, at about the time that I 
suppose that X should begin loading.
- If I disable usplash it will come past "starting gdm", then switch between 
blank screen and the bootup-text screen a few times, and after that nothing 
happens. I'm still able to use the computer in terminal-mode, but it does not 
even put out an error message that configuring X failed, like it did with 
alpha2.

Maybe my problem with the freezing is due to something else than X, i
don't know, but it seems quite likely as it freezes as the screen turns
blank, and about the same time when X was supposed to start.

Note: This notebook did not work with Gutsy either. I'm using the 32-bit
version of ubuntu. Testing results from the laptop team about Feisty and
Gutsy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HPCompaq6715s.
