What I have is this (from lspci):
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon X1650
series] (rev 9e)
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV535 [Radeon X1650
Series] (rev 9e)
It should work well with driver radeonhd and possibly radeon
Check man radeon
Boot to runlevel 3, modprobe radeonhd,
create a suitable xorg.conf file in /etc/X11 (copy from sda for eg)
Then 'startkde' (no options allowed)
Repeat with 'radeon'
Best
