For kicks, try:

Partial Success with RC2

2010-08-08 Thread Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R
  RC2 with ATI Radeon HD 5670 - Blank screen with either
default or VESA driver.  What happened to text mode install?

RC2 with ATI 2600 XT (an old card) - successful install.
Had to add vga cheat code to get a display on a CRT.

The current ATI proprietary driver (I want my Cpmpiz!!)
installs without error messages on both 32 and 64 RC2.
However the result does not run X windows, and
removing xorg.conf doesn't allow X to run as desired.

Install did not ask for a user account.  I had to add
one using a console TTY and groupadd/useradd/passwd.
Almost a feature, but sure to confuse novices.

AFAIK, it normal behaviour in Text install, it's more server friendly 
than user friendly

Using the 2nd install option when the GUI starts doesn't work neither?
Is that what you meant by vesa driver?

Try installing the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental packages as that might
allow you to use compiz instead of the prop driver. Might try removing
the ati prop driver first as well.
