I tested all 3 pairs of packages linked above (I didn't install the -dbg) but
none of these solution worked for me.
X started as before with no special error in the log, but then the LCD panel
complained about an out of range problem and went to sleep.

Radeon Driver fails to load on 2 Sep
Since then, AMD released a X Server 1.5-compatible version of the fglrx
proprietary driver.
If you can cope with this driver being non free, it can be an alternative.
Besides I think the problem is only for R600+ cards (HD2/3/4xxx). I
tested the radeon driver on older 9700 and X1950 cards and it
It's fixed for me in Jaunty.
The radeon driver works correctly again. So far, support is quite limited (no
3D, glxinfo/glxgears crashing) but it works. I'm using the default xorg as
generated by dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.
