Description of problem:
Attempt to use  "ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series]"
with monitor connected to VGA port (and none to DVI port) results in the
monitor being turned off and the system locking up.

I suspect that its testing for a monitor on the DVI port?   I don't have a DVI
monitor I can try, and the DVI socket on this HP box is incompatible with a VGA
adaptor for trying a VGA monitor on the DVI port.

This is without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I notice that lspci seems to find two graphics cards????
