Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

I just tried booting karmic desktop alpha live on my new computer, and
got a black X with a waiting cursor when GDM was supposed to load, after
the xsplash.

steps to reproduce:
1. boot the cd
2. choose english language and local keymap (norwegian)
3. choose "safe graphics" or normal boot
-usplash pops up, does some waiting
-xsplash pops up (looks nice so far, at this point I can change to vt's with alt+fx)
-some screen flickering
-black screen with a waiting cursor on, cursor animating
-freeze, at this point the computer doesn't respond to any input from mouse/keyboard, alt+fx doesn't change vt, and ctrl+alt+bsp doesn't kill x (nozap anyway I guess...)

the following output is from my current 9.04(running fglrx and 2.6.30),
I'll do it with 9.10 if I can, but seeing as I don't really have access
to a computer to do remote debugging atm. (no xorg.log.0, since this is
a different X running).

lspci -nn |grep -i vga:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc Device [1002:9460]
