First: which Debian branch, which XFree? AFAIK there is no support in
XFree-3.3.x at all, so the only solution may be the kernel VESA
framebuffer and the corresponding FB-Xserver.

With XFree-4.1.x you may be lucky, or not. Radeon support ist IMHO Work
In Progress. When you fail completely, try "vesa" driver instead. Some
Radeon cards are mentioned to be supported in the Status file, so try
"ati" first. It is to be changed in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, line
containing "Driver".

Which windows? I think you are speaking about X, alias X11, alias
X-Window-System. I don't have any Windows on my linux system.

Bullshit, never deal with Linux with such Windows methods. Reinstalling
won't solve your problems. Instead, remove the xdm package after the
installation or disable it, if you don't like the graphical login.
chmod -x /etc/init.d/?dm
