I've just tried the radeonhd driver, and I experience a problem 
similar to the vesa driver: if I boot linux 2.6.18 it runs fine, 
but if I run a later kernel, such as 2.6.25, I see KDM with no text, 
wrong colors, wrong mouse cursor and, if I manage to login in my KDE 
session anyway, I just see the white background of windows of my last 
sessions and a gray panel on bottom, on a black desktop.
I've dist-upgraded yesterday.

Since I've read Xorg 7.3 is able to figure out a default configuration 
with no xorg.conf, I tried to delete it. Both tests have been run with 
this default configuration. Here is the unified diff of the two 
Xorg.0.log files:

I don't know why with 2.6.25 a different address is assigned to the 
graphic card and if this could be the problem.
Look forward to any comment.
Thanks,
