The ATI driver is incorrectly recognized for newer ATI cards on kubuntu 
(ubunutu, debian ... blah).  You need to install the fglrx driver.

Once you get to a console point after boot. you should login and do this :

#sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

Then edit your xorg.xonf and change your driver to 'fglrx', then restart.  

This is a sample of the xorg.conf :

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Xpress 200 (RS480)"
        Driver          "fglrx"
        BusID           "PCI:1:5:0"
EndSection
