Are you running in a VirtualBox virtual machine?  It is strange that otherwise 
you would be getting an error on loading the VirtualBox video driver.

The next error you are getting is a failure to load the fallback vesa 
framebuffer driver.  Possibly for some reason the new automatic driver 
detection by X is not working for you.  In the past I had an RV350 card and it 
worked fine with both the ATI proprietary driver and radeon open source.

Somebody help me out here:  I know that when X was changed to do its automatic 
on-the-fly configuration, it would first use /etc/X11/xorg.conf if that file 
still existed.  But didn't that get subsequently get changed to a rules file 
(maybe under modprobe.d)???  I don't remember offhand.  

Bruce, when you do an lsmod, what is the video driver that is loaded?  You may 
need to force X to use to right driver.  (Unless of course this is VBox, which 
will be a different problem.)
