Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
When I install Feisty on my laptop with a Mobility Radeon 9000 and first
boot, X fails to start and if you look at the log file it says no
screens were found. If you check the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file you'll find
it's completely blank (!!). Deleting this file (and letting X figure
everything out itself) or using reconfigure works (but you HAVE to put
everything in manually, any of the auto-options result in it failing),
but this is odd and would likely scare people away if they couldn't get
a GUI after installing the OS.
I've used the same CD to install to my desktop (with an nVidia card) and
it was fine then and I've reinstalled on that same laptop with the same
issue just to confirm it wasn't a fluke.
** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu)
