This is an issue with feisty and ATI X... cards, you need the alternate cd. See:

i’ve the same problem with 6.10 cd. my take is that xorg 7.1 doesn’t like fglrx drivers. there’s something messed up. i’m using xf86 ati drivers on archlinux. works like a charm. tried to give ubuntu another chance.. yea, right.

Yeah, the hardware is pretty new I think. Maybe switch out the video card and see? If you have onboard video, for example, this is doable. ATI is known for being difficult about linux drivers (which is why you as a linux user should run Nvidia stuff).

Sounds like its a problem with your video card. Therefore, my guess is your problem lies in the fact that ATI are very anal about their drivers and don’t play nicely with linux.
