I have an Asus a8v, athlon with an "ATI Technologies Inc M10 NQ [Radeon Mobility 9600]" and I'm experiencing the "black screen" on startup of the X server. I've done the "dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver.xorg", tried the xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.7.195+git20071020tv_i386.deb, and 'Option "LVDSBiosNativeMode" "false"', and I'm still getting the black screen. Here is a more detailed description:
