Daniel,
In reply to your question I posted an extra comment to my report a few
days ago, but as you are not in the subsriber list to this bug I now
send you directly the answer to your question (just in case).
Yes X starts OK if I use the radeon driver. But then DRI is disabled and
nothing at all works in Gnome: When I try to select a menu item, I get
the watch and the tab "starting xxx" (where xxx is the application I try
to launch), but then it goes away without any message. The log out
screen does not come up...
If I use the vesa driver things work, except I have no network and other
problems (see other issues I filled).
