Ok,
I'm at about my wits end here. I can't, for the life of me, get X to come up on my new box. It's a Dell PowerEdge 1800 (2x3.0 Ghz, 2GB, ATI Radeon 7000M/RV100).
The Debian install CD brings up a GUI, as does the most recent Ubuntu Live-CD. I have KMS enabled, and have radeon specified in my xorg.conf file.
What's strange, is that Debian didn't install X by default, I had to use aptitude to do it. Also, there is no "startx" command, it is simply "X," which I also haven't seen before.
When I run "X," the monitor switches to where the X server should be running, but the display is just black. I have to switch back to tty to ctrl+c to get the system back. I've tried "fbdev" as the drive as well, but it gives the same result. If I try to run "xrandr" it says "Can't open display :0"
I have attached dmesg, xorg.log and xorg.conf. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
