[Problem]
Blank screen during X boot on Ati Radeon 9250.  Goes away if option NoDRI used.

[Original Report]
I've a problem using Ati Radeon 9250 on Ubuntu 8.04 with open source driver:
very often, after splash screen monitor shows me "no signal" message and it
goes to standby mode. I checked Xorg.0.log when xserver starts correctly and
when it doesn't and I've seen two differences:
1) Some memory area (Ring, GART, Vertex buffers,etc...) are mapped to different
addresses
2) When "no signal" message is shown log ends with

(II) RADEON(0): no multimedia table present, disabling Rage Theatre.

while when X starts without problems the log continues.

I attach Xorg.0.log in both cases: working and bugged, and my xorg.conf.

I found a way to use my system simply putting option NoDRI in xorg.conf: no
signal message doesn't appear anymore but system is slower and desktop effects
don't work.

Best Regards,
Simone Navari.
