You need a kernel update.

Look for the latest benh's kernel

The one I'm using is here: http://carlos.pemas.net/debian/kernel/ but I

New kernel and also new XFree (I'm using the 4.3 prerelease from
experimental:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ ../project/experimental main

You have attached my XF86Config-4 file.

It works without problems here, but without 3D acceleration, of course.
