At this point in time I am able to use the onboard chipset by simply removing the Driver "radeonhd" line. Obviously not what I desired, as that means I am probably using the ATI closed source driver. But given the options between white screen and text display I'll just have to take it.
Which means that you have the fglrx driver installed while testing radeonhd. This is something *completely* unsupported, because the fglrx kernel module messes around with the hardware beyond repair.

Okay so I created a bug in Ubuntu to make radeonhd conflict with fglrx so they both can not be installed at the same time. However I think I made a mistake. I do not think fglrx is on the system. mpower@dodtsair:~/Desktop$ apt-cache show xorg-driver-fglx W: Unable to locate package xorg-driver-fglx E: No packages found mpower@dodtsair:~/Desktop$ locate fglrx /usr/share/app-install/desktop/fglrx-driver.desktop /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_fglrx-installer.py /usr/share/doc/fglrx-modaliases /usr/share/doc/fglrx-modaliases/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/fglrx-modaliases/copyright /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.py /usr/share/jockey/handlers/fglrx.pyc /usr/share/jockey/modaliases/fglrx-modules.alias.override /var/cache/jockey/fglrx.oldconf /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modaliases.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/fglrx-modaliases.md5sums mpower@dodtsair:~/Desktop$ Based on the Xorg log (II) LoadModule: "radeon" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//radeon_drv.so (II) Module radeon: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.4, module version = 6.12.99 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: And yet even as I read the log I see: (II) LoadModule: "ati" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//ati_drv.so (II) Module ati: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.4, module version = 6.12.99 Module class: X.Org Video Driver ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 5.0 Is that bad, is that the fglrx driver, or is it dependent on the fglrx driver?
