This is for Charlie Xia the originator of this Bug.

I have the same card and experienced same problem on Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
Moreover the LCD screen of my Laptop is broken and I am using the Laptop as a
Desktop through external VGA monitor and desperately trying to make it work.

I configured through xorg.conf and used vesa driver. Now the display works on
both LCD (I can see through some patches working) and the VGA monitor. The
output of xrandr -q is as follows:
~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768       61.0* 
   800x600        73.0  
   640x480        86.0  

The Device, Monitor and Screen sections of xorg.conf are as follows:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M"
        Driver          "vesa"
        BusID           "PCI:1:5:0"
        Option "Monitor-VGA-0" "VGA monitor"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier      "VGA monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Device          "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon IGP 330M/340M/350M"
        Monitor         "VGA monitor"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
        Modes           "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Please note that I had no problem in Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, therefore, you can
consider to downgrade the xserver in Debian and the ati driver works.

Hope it helps.
