G'day, I believe I am experiencing this same problem so many years later. My install is Hardy Heron, amd64. I have rebuilt most of the system without replacing the video card. Before the rebuild and under 32-bit gutsy the card appeared to function correctly. After the rebuild and under 64-bit hardy I get nowhere.

It's hard to get diagnostics out as the console is inaccessible from the moment gdm starts. I cannot change back to a text console. Caps-lock is non-responsive. From a remote machine I have managed to log in and observe X sitting at 100% load on one of my cores, and the machine runs slowly. I have tried adding Option "DefaultConnectorTable" "on", hoping this was a dupe of Bug 157408. My current workaround is to add Driver "vesa" to the Device section of xorg.conf. I can supply more details if required.
