Thank you for answering.

I ran the 'X -configure' command from tty0 without a running X server, so unfortunately that's not the problem...

Looking at the radeon(4) man, can't find my video card (AMD Radeon HD 6290). I was sure it was supported but I must have confused it with it's little brother 6250. Does this mean I'm screwed, or can I still get this to work well enough to surf the web and watch the occasional movie?
From the info I can find the 6290 seems to be an overclocked 6250, but I'm not sure if this helps...
