I believe I'm dealing with this bug on my G4 iBook with radeon driver, I've got about 640 MB RAM??? Now trying to get 14.04 Lu running after having similar "screen freeze" issues with 14.10 . . . in 14.10 using agp.mode got me into a GUI, but then the screen would freeze . . . although mouse is moving. Lars N has a similar bug report and I may post over there as well.
So, back in 14.04 now, tried to read through ojordan's comments, in trying to look at my Xorg.0.log in Terminal . . . shuts the GUI down-- frozen in space and time. I ran 'Xorg -configure' . . . and it shows "radeon" and the PCI:0:16:0 . . . but on restart I could open the file manager and got some "folders" to open in the GUI, but when I opened LXTerminal . . . nothing loaded into the Terminal window. . . screen frozen . . . . I guess next step is to to try to cut the Xorg.conf file down to exactly what ojordan has posted here . . . not expecting that to solve the issue . . . I'll post back when I get that done.

The last ISO I tested was from the 19th of Sept and that was fine. Yesterdays live/desktop ISO (28/9/2012) fails to start the Xorg server. It reports that no devices are detected. Creating a very simple xorg.conf overcomes the problem: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "radeon" BusID "PCI:0:16:0" EndSection I'll attach the Xorg.0.log from running with and without the above xorg.conf.
