does NOT start X with pci-e Radeon X850XT

Binary package hint: edubuntu-desktop

[A64 3500+, 1gb Ram, X850XT pci-e, Audigy2]

excuse my limited unix knowledge.

I got me the ubuntu 6.06.1 64bit and burnt it on CD.

Upon booting off CD it aborts because it fails to start the X server.
I get thrown right into a shell, no login.

I was looking thru the xorg0.log

I see my radeon x850xt listed with the right busID as primary device.

But at the end of the logfile it says

"PCI Radeon Mach64 on bus 5.0.0 not found !"
"PCI Radeon Mach64 on bus 5.0.1 not found !"

(EE) no device found !!

Needless to say i dont own (never had) a Radeon Mach64.

This is trying to boot off the live-CD "as burnt" from the *.iso
