Comment 92 for bug 284408

Warren, I wouldn't recommend removing your graphics card, and not all motherboards have onboard video anyway. The open-source drivers work quite well for most purposes, much better for me then the proprietary ones in Hardy in fact. Just purge xorg-driver-fglrx and then install xserver-xorg-video-ati or -vesa failing -ati. I'll update the description with the workaround.
