Ubuntu 7.04 Fresh - ATI Card Issue

Hi Folks,

My kernel :

sts@opotumon:~$ uname -rnms
Linux opotumon 2.6.20-15-generic i686
sts@opotumon:~$

My VGA Card

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Sapphire X550 Silent]
01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV370 secondary [Sapphire X550 Silent]

I did not do anything as "geek" doing with their computer; just fresh install ubuntu 7.04 with CD from shipit, did not touch "xorg.conf" or whatever the bloody command line to tweak the display adaptor.

Module should be load in xorg.conf is GENUIINE from fresh install

Section "Module"
Load "i2c"
Load "bitmap"
Load "ddc"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "int10"
Load "vbe"
EndSection

You can see NO dbe as suggested by many net sites.

The device section is GENUINE from the fresh install

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc RV370 [Sapphire X550 Silent]"
Driver "ati"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

No below UGLY WORD as suggested by many of net sites to add on the device option: which really make newbie like me got many head-ache

Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "AGPFastWrite" "true"
Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "true"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "AllowGLCWithComposite" "true"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"

Server lay-out is also GENUINE from the fresh install

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

Without any additional OPTION

Dri section

Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection

No identify composite and other bullshit confusing the newbie like me.
