i have this same system -- in my experience the VESA driver does not even work acceptably, leaving a badly scrambled color palette after switching back from a VT or after any change in screen resolution. as far as i know the only solution at the moment is to install the fglrx driver using ATI's installer. restricted-manager correctly detects that the hardware is unsupported by the current fglrx packages, but exits with a misleading error message. this bug should probably be moved to one of the fglrx packages.
