Hardware:
- The computer is a Dell Optiplex GX620
- VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 5B62 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]
- Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon X600(RV380)
- The attached monitor is a 17" Digital 1280x1024.

It boots from CD untill it tries to load gdm. It fails and brings the console. These are the logs from X.org. I tried both normal and safe video mode.

I paste the last part of the log, If you need more information let me know.

(II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "ATI Technologies, Inc. RV370 5B62 [Radeon X600 (PCIE)]".
(WW) ATI: PCI Mach64 in slot 1:0:0 could not be detected!
(WW) ATI: PCI Mach64 in slot 1:0:1 could not be detected!
(EE) No devices detected.

Then I tried to boot selecting one of the VGA modes pressing F4 in the install menu. It was worse, after the initial ubuntu logo loading, nothing could be seen on screen.
