I did not try ati-drivers. Her card is a RV505 (Radeon X1550 Series)

suspect the problem is not the driver itself, because radeon does not
work, too, and I also had similar problems of a blank screen with an
ATI card and different drivers.
For the radeon X driver (which *is* the best choice for the X1000
series) make sure you also have radeon in-kernel support enabled.
It is enabled, and according do dmesg, it is running fine:
[ 387.433698] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 387.535673] [drm] Initialized radeon 1.30.0 20080528 for 0000:02:00.0 on
minor 0
But that's only for GLX, right? So even if it weren't enabled, I should see
something, I guess.
Can you post /var/log/Xorg.0.log on http://pastebin.ca ?
