General instructions for debugging "black screen" issues from a live CD:
Please try a Jaunty live CD: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/jaunty/
At the CD boot menu, add "text" to the boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootParameters
The CD will now boot but not start X. At the text prompt, enter this command:
xinit -e 'sh -c "xrandr --verbose > xrandr.log" '
This will try to start X and log some information about the active screen resolution to the file xrandr.log before it stops X again. Copy the corresponding X log to the current directory:
cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log .
Now edit xorg.conf to make X use the "vesa" (failsafe) driver:
nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and change the Device section to look like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "vesa"
EndSection
Then start X which should give you a desktop session, although with low resolution:
startx
From here, attach the xrandr.log and Xorg.0.log (which are in the Home Folder) to this bug report. If for some reason you can not log into launchpad from the live CD (network problems etc), you can also copy the files to a USB drive now and attach them from another computer or session later.

affects ubuntu/xserver-xorg-video-ati
When attempting to load X on a Mac Mini G4, with a Radeon 9200 chip, 32MB RAM, I get a blank screen, and my monitor's on-screen display indicates a resolution of 1280x768 at 60Hz. I am using a 22 inch wide-screen monitor, with a maximum of 1680x1050 at 60Hz. When running in failsafe mode, the radeon driver appears to get loaded, so at lower resolutions at least, things are working ok.
I am using the 2.6.28 ports kernel which I maintain, and so far as I can determine, there is nothing wrong with the configuration of the kernel regarding graphics/DRM, however I have attached the config here to be sure. I am also attaching dmesg, lspci, and my Xorg log.
