I just did one of these last night using X from unstable and benh kernel
obtained (yesterday) with rsync as described at

http://penguinppc.org/~benh/

It was unusable with radeonfb (had to use video=ofonly for legible text
console, but no X this way) until I did rsync update for benh kernel;
2.4.20-ben1 worked, 2.4.20-rc4-ben0 did not.  X works mostly now, but
this was not so until I updated the kernel module radeon.o, obtainable
by adding

deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/ ./

to sources.list and apt-getting drm-trunk-module-src (use to rebuild
radeon.o).

I guess sleeping is still an issue for Radeon M7 units?  I tried
snoozing mine (by shutting the lid); it froze.  This works fine in a
Radeon M6 unit.
