Hi, 
Last week I posted a full bug report with a similar problem over here: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/486367 
The ATi card is a RV280 - Radeon 9200 Pro. 
Screen resolution 1280x1024px

Problems: 
- Black screen and no icons after installing karmic (fresh installation). This was fixed after changing visual (desktop) effects to none. 
- Compiz can't be enabled. It tries to search for a proprietary driver, but fails. Same thing when trying to change visual effects back to normal. 
- Sometimes the screen freezes when using program's such as the Gimp or when watching video's. 
- When booting: the screen blinks a couple of times and the white Ubuntu logo is displayed not only in the middle of the screen but also at the bottom right of the screen. 
- Colors aren't as smooth as in Jaunty. 

None of this affected me in Jaunty. 
I tried to install proprietary drivers but they aren't supported anymore (including Catalyst not supporting this videocard).
EnvyNG failed to, tried some work-arounds that I could find on some websites around here and there. None of them worked.
