Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

setting radeon.modeset=1 makes the X session unloadable
i've tried it with EXA and XAA accelmethods, on 16 and 24 bits
XAA seems making no difference (actually it seems in the log that EXA is used whether I set XAA or not)
so here are the symptoms:

EXA@24 bits:
loading and splash seems fine, but upon the X session start (i use autoload) i can only see the panel loaded, and after a few secs i'm dropped back to the login screen. i can switch to VT. colours and size are normal both in login screen and VT.

EXA@16 bits:
loading and splash seems fine, but on X session start, i can see my background and the auto-starting apps 4 times tiled on the screen, and everything is dimmed and greenish, except for the mouse pointer. after a few secs i'm dropped back to login screen. it's tiled on the screen 4 times, and dimmed green too. the vt's size is normal, but it's also green

attached some logs that might be useful

driver version is
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.99+git20090929.7968e1fb-0ubuntu1
