Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

When booting up Ubuntu Gutsy on a Toshiba Satellite L35-S2316 laptop with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200m the laptop goes to start X, however the screen goes blank, and when I say blank, I mean blank, no power, straight black! This only occurs with the 2.6.22 kernels and not the 2.6.20 kernels.

How this was fixed:

I removed the radeon.ko from /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic/kernel/drivers/char/drm/, rebooted and it worked (thanks to mj59). I am attaching a before and after Xorg.0.log file below.
