Bug Description
Both the live CD ("Try on this computer without installing anything") and an actual hard drive installation fail to bootup completely and enter x on my new ASUS F8SA-X2 laptop. The video card is an ATI Radeon HD 2600. It boots and gets past the initial ubuntu splash screen and then when it's trying to start x the screen goes blank briefly three times then just hangs. I've tried Unutunu 7.10 and the new 8.04 beta.
The screen that it hangs on and blinks at looks like this:
* Starting deffered execution scheduler atd [ OK ]
* Starting periodic command schduler crond [ OK ]
* Checking pattery state . . . [ OK ]
* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) [ OK ]
_ (blinking line)
Anyone have any thoughts? Does ubuntu just have poor ATI drivers/support seems like a lot of people are running into issues with ATI cards on laptops.

I have an almost identical problem with a desktop machine using an ATI Radeon X850. The last line I see before the screen flickers a couple of times is
* Starting periodic command scheduler crond [ OK ]
Every few times there is a solid green line on the top of the screen instead of it being completely blank.
I've tried both AMD64 and i386 versions. I have an AMD64 X2 processor
