Most likely you are running an outdated Ubuntu Version. Canonical stopped supporting 13.04 and 13.10 - provide the logfiles from the first post and we can see.

The drm_kms_helper workaround will work correctly starting with kernel 3.17 - thanks for the user that took the time to file the bugreport for me.
Alex (agd5f) has sent the relevant patch for 3.17 inclusion.

Those patches allow you to boot your htpc with the AVR and the TV off. After you switch them on - you can use them like you had booted your PC with them powered on.

Most likely a custom fglrx installation ... by running the ati-installer from AMD. Just with the howto from scratch - that will help :-)
