Hi Brian,
Looks like this bug was filed against Ubuntu rather than against Xorg,
so I didn't notice it until today; sorry about the delay in response,
I've corrected the package.
The problem you're describing is X crashing on the main X session, but
works properly with the gdm-controlled X login session. This generally
means that the driver basically works with your hardware, but there is a
configuration issue on this particular hardware. Please attach your
/etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log files for me to take a look
at.
It looks like the PCI ID for an ATI Radeon Xpress 200G is 1002:5954.
Can you confirm this (it can be found in lspci -vvnn). Looking in the
driver source there are some code paths unique to this hardware for
features it does not support, which could explain why you've seeing a
crash on it while other systems work properly. With the Xorg.0.log in
hand hopefully there will be an error message and/or a backtrace that
indicates what the issue is.
