To get X working, install the package "x-window-system" with apt-get or
aptitude. This will get you all the necessary components of Xorg. Also
install "discover", "mdetect", "laptop-detect" and "xresprobe" to help
with the hardware detection. (Some of these packages might already be
installed on your system but check to make sure.)
Then run "dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low xserver-xorg" as root. This
will attempt to detect your hardware and should give you a good starting
point for the configuration of your X server. Your graphics card is
supported by the "radeon" driver, see "man radeon" for more details. It
should also allow you to select the high resolution which matches your
display. (If there are problems in the next step it might be worthwhile
to first try to get X running with a lower resolution.)
Then try to run "startx". If this is successful you can think about
installing a fancier desktop environment such as KDE or Gnome. If X
fails to start you should post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and the
output of "egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log" so that we can see
what went wrong.
