Does not work on my ATi X800

Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-ati

X fails to start when using the ati driver on my X800. The simple error message is "(EE) No Device Detected". To use X on this card I have to use either vesa or fglrx.

This is especially bad for the desktop installer CD which always fails to start X and X has to be reconfigured to use vesa just to get into the desktop on the CD. This was the case for the Edgy CD and Feisty Herd 1. It may have also existed with Dapper, but that is too far back for me to say now.

The Xorg.0.log above it from the dapper live cd. The exact same thing happens with later versions of the Ubuntu live cd and it always have to reconfigure X to use vesa to get the live cd to work.
