Hello Ben.
JFYI with apt-get install -t squeeze-backports linux-image-686
firmware-linux xorg libdrm2 libdrm-radeon1 libgl1-mesa-glx it worked
although with the FBDEV driver; the Radeon driver loads first but
doesn't say anything about not supporting it, it just unloads and then
VESA refuses to load because it detects KMS, so then is the FBDEV turn
that uses the FBDev API exposed by the KMS driver and it works.
Is good enough for office work so I am ok.
Maybe this info could help someone else with the same problem on
Squeeze.
If you know or have some tip to try to load the Radeon driver let
me know, but it isn't too important for me at least.
Thanks a lot!

I don't know if a backport to support that driver is worthwhile or not, complex or trivial, etc... The VESA driver is unstable, sometimes X starts, sometimes not, when it starts it doesn't support the monitors native resolution. Thanks for your consideration! Happy hacking!Sorry, it won't be possible to add any new graphics hardware support to 'squeeze'. The kernel and X packages in squeeze-backports might support this hardware properly; otherwise try Debian 7.0 'wheezy' which will be released very shortly. Ben.
