I wish you all had a nice xmas - I may have found the problem. I tried
arch linux and voilá - after some fighting I got the graphical
interface to work - using the radeonhd driver and inserting a
ServerFlag "AllowEmptyInput" "off".

This started up. Then I installed ubuntu 8.10 - added that server flag
but to no avail. Then I checked the versions of the installed drivers
and here was the difference - arch linux installed radeonhd-1.2.4-1
and ubuntu 8.10 1.2.1...

I now just installed the package from the arch linux repository
(basically copied over the .so driver file and I booted up nicely.

Cheers,
