Those instructions are quite old. The 4.2.1 version of XFree86 in testing seems to support radeon chips fine (with 2d & 3d acceleration.) A resonably recent kernel should also have an acceptable dri module.
To enable 2D acceleration, in the "Device" setion of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, change/set the Driver option to:
Driver "radeon" and restart X.To enable 3D acceleration, in addition to the above step, use modconf to load the drivers/char/drm/radeon module and restart X.
