This bug affects every laptop equipped with a radeon X1250.

To function properly, these card needs one of the following driver:
* newer ati driver than the one provided by Hardy
* radeonhd driver which is not avalaible with livecd

If one boots with Hardy LiveCD, X will fail to start, installing radeonhd and editing xorg.conf than restarting gdm "solves" the problem. However, this can't be done by everyone!
