The Xorg.conf was indentical to one attached above.
This was done with original alpha2 install.

Hello, thanks for helping to make Ubuntu better.
Your log file looks interesting:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791e]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3450 [1002:95c5]
Seems you have two graphic cards, maybe that confuses the driver? What kind of computer do you have?
Do the graphics work with Intrepid? What happens if you try to use the driver "radeonhd"
Thanks!

Testing I did with the RS690 only produced similar results. I do not think
xserver is confused by the two video cards.

SapphireTech R690 motherboard, AMD 3800+, 2GB, AHCI sata disk and IDE DVD.
I was using 4GB but couldn't get anything to work. IOMMU problem.

I have updated the bios since I reported the bug. There were updates in IDE-
AHCI handling.

> Do the graphics work with Intrepid?

Yes, but I could only use second monitor to mirror the primary using Ubuntu
supplied ATI proprietary. Both monitors and both devices were identified by
AMDCCCLE. Both analog monitors were run from the HD3450.

What happens if you try to use the driver "radeonhd"
I have not tried the Novell driver. Jaunty was my first choice.

I did spend a fair amount of time to manually configure xorg.conf. All my
changes would be removed by the recommended command they advice you to run.
Obviously, I stopped using it. As soon as I added monitor specs such a hsync
or vsync it would fail. Driver changes also failed. The fglrx driver would
not load due to incompatible libraries.

I am currently wiping the disk to get a consistent starting point (alpha2 +
updates). Should I try radeonhd? The online docs at xorg state it only works
for R5xx, R6xx and below.

I have two similar systems. On the one with the integrated RS690 that I can not disable --- fails with radeonhd.

On the one with a RS780G which I can disable, fails unless I disable the integrated video.

Once disabled, it has the best performance of all I have tried.

I still have problems with two monitors which I am working on.

By specifying BusID I am able to turn 780G back on. Will test on my 690G motherboard soon. Still working on dual monitor setup.

Have switched from radeonhd to today's radeon and put memory back to 4GB.
Single screen works fine.

xrandr does not see alternate outputs. There is also a warning that R600 code is experimental. The HD3450 uses the R620.
