Same problem - Radeon Mobility HD 3200. Also boots with radeon.modeset=0, but then loads vesa driver (and doesn't allow, e.g., native screen resolution).

Note: system installed with 'download propriety software'=no. Properitry drivers then installed via 'safe mode'/reboot but staggers along & nowhere near as smooth as the Live DVD (which was great with all the 3D functionality/workspaces etc working perfectly) *** note this ubuntu-bug report was generated after restarting in recovery mode*** (because whatever driver was trying to load failed totally at log in screen so I could not run U-B in that mode) I hope it helps anyway!
