Bug Description
After installing dapper on an HP nw8240 with an Ati Mobility FireGL v5000 graphics chip, X did not work with the ati driver. Booting to gdm would leave a blank screen, and switching to the terminal showed a sceen that wrapped vertically with about 1 inch of the top of the screen showing at the bottom of the screen. There was also a solid bar about the width of the gnome-terminal tab bar which was an almost solid light grey at the top of the wrapped portion of the display at the bottom. There was a lot of visual static, with the text blurred. I was able to boot in single user mode, bring up networking, and install Ati's binary fglrx driver, and that corrected the problem.
