After posting the log I realized it's not going to have the fault logged. Here is an updated xorg.conf and xorg.log. I added "1280x1024" to the default color depth of 24 and rebooted. The display went blank trying to load X and showed it was trying to run at 1280x1024 93.2Hz(or close). I went to the terminal the made a copy of the xorg.log file.
This is the first error I've reported so sorry if I'm noobing it up. I also wanted to say THANK you so freeken much to the devs and people working on Ubuntu and all OSS projects. You people rock! I only wish I had some kind of talent I could contribute to these projects beyond filling out a trouble ticket. <soap box> The idea for the restricted driver manager is perfect! It's the best balance of ease of use and usability while recognizing binary drivers are not the preferred way to go. But sometimes you have to play the hand your given and Ubuntu is first and foremost about ease of use. So yes, inform the new Ubuntu user about what what this non open driver is, why it doesn't flow with the OSS idea but let them install it so they can use the OS. If they can't use the video well they aren't going to keep exploring Linux and get a bitter taste in there mouth about the entire OSS experience. </soap box> I also love the new network and wireless manager!!!!!!!! almost more than getting the ATI drivers working with one click.
