No mouse pointer, nothing. The X process will be shutdown with a
ctrl-c or ctrl-alt-delete, but the screen remains blank, in "power
saver" mode.

Nothing I do makes any difference on the monitor.

It really sounds like a driver problem. radeon doesn't explicitly support the 5000-series cards, but I thought it would work. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

You can try the radeonhd driver, or even the vesa driver.

I've done that, and it works just the same. I saw your other message
about HALD and read your interesting link, aei.html. I disabled the
HALD and DBUS, and rebooted, tried again, but with the same results.

Right.  It's probably not an input problem.
