I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro p200 with the same graphics card, and I too can not get x server to start. Looking at xorg.0.log (attached) it does warn that the R600 chip set support is experimental, direct rendering is disabled, hardware acceleration is disables, some other vendor specific warnings, then finally it fails some ParseTable thing. Using the Vesa driver also fails, and just brings you to the command prompt, this time the driver seems to work, but it fails due to no screens being found (a generic one is set up, as per default, so no idea why it can;t find one) and fails with a fatal error also. Son in short, no matter what I do, I can;t get the thing to even boot to a gui. Even wireless is acting up for some reason, so I can run apt-get update, aghhhhh! This is tghe same on a distro upgrade, live CD and now a fresh install (from both normal and Alternative CDs). What on earth can I do, as even if they do create a bug fix, unless they bring out a new cd image I won't be able to apply it!!!
