If you have the ATI Radeon 7500C (M7 chioset) then you definitely need 4.2.0 and
I would suggest also getting the 4.2.1 update for completeness. I have the same
card and run woody so if you need further help, let me know. In short, what I
did was to copy someone else's XF86Config file who's got a 7500 and then remove
all the stuff I didn't need and replace it with what the XF86Config.new file
contained after doing XFree86 -configure. The relevant sections are:
Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI Radeon 7500"
Driver "radeon"
#Option "CrtScreen"
VideoRam 32768
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Driver "accel"
Device "ATI Radeon 7500"
Monitor "Dell generic flat panel"
DefaultColorDepth 16
SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection
I hope this helps. Good luck!
