We're still trying to understand what "the problem" is. In pavlov_v's case, the aticonfig initial command was not run to set up the driver during installation so I wouldn't expect it to work properly.
Maybe you have a different problem ? Can you pastebin your log and provide some info about your install, eg whether you built a package or used the basic installer, whether you ran the "aticonfig initial" command from the install instructions etc...
I installed the new fglrx 9.01 driver using --buildpkg Ubuntu/8.10. Since after rebooting there was no picture after X started, I've created a new xorg.conf unsing "aticonfig initial". Still no picture. When I install radeonhd or ati/radeon-driver I have 1920x1080 on X (but i need fome fglrx-features). So, do you have any ideas?
Can you pastebin your config file as well please ? The log contained messages about obsolete config options, not sure if they are causing problems (I wouldn't expect them to).
Did the log come from starting after you ran aticonfig --initial or before ? Any error messages from running aticonfig --initial ?
Interesting. The driver was complaining about "MonitorLayout" IIRC but I don't see that in the conf file. Was this the conf file used for the startup which produced the log ?
