Thats normal if your framebuffer is broken.

on my HP, http://www.reitmeir.org/ibook/ a placed the config files .., here is X working including DRI.
I use normal Debian/unstable, the only thing important for the kernel is the new radeon framebuffer module, it should compiled in static, and if you want to use the pbuttonsd, you have to enable the event interface (input section). My Kernel-Config is also on this page, so you can diff it against yours.
A pitfall is udev, if you use it, you have to create the /dev/fb0 by hand. A
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV fb0
should do. I inserted the commands in an init.d script.
