As you can see its saying it can't find any compatible drivers for my Radeon. Also, I removed xserver-common and xserver-xfree86 and installed them from the experimental tree and discover reported that it couldn't find any xservers for my particular card (the attached error.log is from after installing from the experimental tree). It says that driver version 1.1 is installed (or is it 1.3?) and that 1.5 is needed. :(
