That message isn't fatal.  Please attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from the failed
startup.

Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2007-08-14 18:30:23 UTC
That appears to be a successful startup, and the ati driver definitely doesn't
support R500 cards so it's not expected to work.

Presumably your X session is dying for some other reason?

Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2007-09-19 13:54:57 UTC
There have been no updates to this bug in over a month.  Your X session appears
to be dying sometime after X is started.  You can verify this by running

X :0

from runlevel 3 and verifying that the X server stays up on its own.  (Press
Control-Alt-Backspace to terminate it.)  If this is still an issue for you, you
will need to track down where in the X startup process the session is failing
before we can work this bug any further.
