The problem seems to be that there was a series of security problems
with the kernel module and it was dropped from the upstream kernel:

http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIMach64/?highlight=%28CategoryHardwareChipset%29

so I think what needs to happen until someone fixes the kernel is to
remove xserver-xorg-video-mach64 from xserver-xorg-video-all, so that it
doesn't get installed; this gets you fallback that seems to work OK -
except it can't detect multiple monitors; so it works OK on the LCD of
this laptop and it works OK if I plug an external monitor and boot with
it; but it can't switch between them.

Title:
  XServer modprobe: FATAL: Module mach64 not found. 14.04.1. 12.04
  worked great

Status in xserver-xorg-video-mach64 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  System is now Server 14.04, with a minimal X install (openbox, etc...)
  and package xserver-xorg-video-mach64 was installed and is the newest
  version.

  I just upgraded that server from 12.04LTS Server. Before the upgrade,
  it had worked fine using startx to boot an instance of X for doing
  maintenance.

  Did a release upgrade (today) to 14.04 and it's now broke. XLog has
  that same exact message. Diving into it right now to check it out (see
  why it broke).
