You're right.  Reinstalling this makes X run again.  Thanks!

Actually, I may have uninstalled xserver-xorg-video-ati myself.  I
dimly recall thinking it weird that I could uninstall the ATI package
without uninstalling the RADEON package.  I figured that if RADEON
required it, there would be a package dependency.

In any case, my immediate problem is solved.  

Thanks again,
