X Server Problem

[Thom Sanders]

Hi All,

really excited about trying out Ubuntu but have tried
installing twice on my laptop and both times all looks
OK but gdm says it's starting and all I get is a blank
black screen, no cursor, nothing. Can't see obvious
errors reported anywhere. The machine is a Dell
Inspiron 5000 P3-600 192MB RAM ATI RAGE Mobility-P
(Dell). 

The laptop has run various versions of SuSE, RedHat,
Mandrake. Until yesterday it was happily running SuSE
9.1. Never had any issues with any distro. 

I've attached output of lspci -n and xresprobe ati.
Also attaching /var/log/XFree86.0.log and
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4. There's probably something
obviously wrong with the XF86Config-4 but it's been
quite some time since I've had to fiddle with X
settings. Any help appreciated.

Thom
