Your log looks fine although it looks like ubuntu has removed some of the modesetting messages. Did this used to work? If so what version of ubuntu/driver?
(In reply to comment #3) Thank you for your rapid response. As I said I used Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 as it is without any changes in settings except for xorg.conf where I inserted settings to use xorg ati open source driver: it is self installed by ubuntu and its version is 6.9.0 (ubuntu package xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.9.0+git20081003.f9826a56-0ubuntu2, and as ubuntu says it is generated with xorg driver module xf86-video-ati). I hope those details can help you to better understand the problem. Can I do any other test or settings change for more detail ? Best Regards, Simone Navari.

If it used to work, what distro version was it?

I want now to try with a different Live distro not based on ubuntu/debian. Thanks.
I've found a workaround ! Setting "NoDRI" option in xorg.conf it works but obviously performance are poor and destkop effects can't be enabled since no acceleration is available. Have you any ideas ?
Do either of the following options (in the device section of your config) help? Option "AGPMode" "4" or Option "BusType" "PCI" Alex
