Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
I've just installed Xubuntu-8.10 on a computer with an ASUS M2N motherboard, AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core BE-2400 CPU, and a ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO graphics card.

1. Install the radeonhd driver (xserver-
2. Through 'Xorg -configure' + heavy hand editing, create the xorg.conf file in the attachment.
And with that it seems to work nicely. Problem solved for me. I decided to report it anyway to
a) Make developers aware that the automatic X configuration tool on (X)ubuntu-8.10 has a problem with ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO cards
b) Tell other users having the same problem that there's a workaround
