I've tried installing Intrepid Ibex, using two methods:
live-cd boot => first i get the boot screen, stops with blinking cursor and then a prompt (Xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd was not available in prompt)
install option: first i get the boot screen then the blinking cursor, then a prompt. (xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd was not available in prompt)

I also have sound problems, but i will focus on my screen problems first.

Both methods require me to set acpi =off. Otherwise they will stop immedeately.

I'm now downloading the alternate installer. Hopes this will work. This is a big bug, not being able to install at all imho.
In hardy i was able to use live-cd with acpi=off settings, and could do a graphic install. Intrepid must be installed in text mode. Or using hardy install and then update.
