Hi, have you tried driver 'ati' instead of 'radeon'? The "ati" driver is a wrapper that will load the "radeon" driver if possible. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver That page has some good tips for editing /etc/Xorg.conf, just disregard anything regarding 'apt-get' and 'gdm'.
Not sure whether 3D accelleration is supported with your card but at least 2D should work. Maybe someone else has an ati xpress and can help?
If X crashes, maybe try: Code: | grep (EE) /var/log/Xorg.0.log | and Code: | grep (WW) /var/log/Xorg.0.log | TazOC

Yeah, I'd recomend the ATI driver too, but you're going to need to get the latest installer from their website
