Just found a post on Phoronix from a dev that said: "if you have an HD2400 then the problem is simply that we don't have video acceleration for your card yet, but we are working on it." dated 08/27/20008 So the RadeonHD driver will not work even though the wiki says it will, and cards above and below it are supported... You could take your fglrx problem to the Phoronix forum. They probably have the highest concentration of Linux graphics experts anywhere outside of the Xorg dev mailing lists.
