I'm not sure if I'm seeing this same bug. Due to ATI's ornate
nomenclature, I don't know if my machine is on the list of supported
machines or not. (Has anyone got an ATI taxonomy?)

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690 [Radeon X1200

I was able to use Hali's method
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-
installer/+bug/284408/comments/15) to get the video-ati driver installed
(xserver-xorg-video-ati-1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2--i386). So
far so good.

Two problems:

* I can only use one of my two monitors. This severely crimps my ability
to earn my living. Thanks.

* The power control system does not shut off the one LCD monitor I can
use. This means it sits there running at 40 watts instead of less than
half a watt. It also means I have to turn it on and off manually, at
least a 15 year regression.

I will enter separate bugs for these, but I will also go back to the ATI
proprietary driver as soon as I can.
