Hi Dominik.

Thanks for helping with this.
Yeah I installed from the Desktop CD iso.
All the logfiles attached were generated from the livecd environment.

I was able to install once I altered my xorg.conf driver line from ati to
radeon.
Also, I had assumed /etc/init.d/gdm stop would actually stop gdm, but
someone suggested that you need to pkill gdm. This was true, and why
the radeon driver didn't work in my first attempts.

I'll try the Debugging XAutoConfig stuff in the meantime.

Let me know if you would like any other information.

John
