Howto? ATI Radeon on Sarge

[hanasaki <hanasaki@hanaden.com>]

Any thoughts on how to use a ATI Radeon (probably 9000 or 9200) sarge? 
Sarge has XFree4.2x and the xfree86.org web site documents no radeon 
support until XFree4.3x.  ATI seems to have some drivers on their site 
but only in RPM format (no .deb)  Also, someone mentioned the VESA 
driver.  Could this be of any value?

OS	- Debian Sarge
Kernel	- 2.4.24 and 2.6

Any info would be most appreciated.  100% open source is the goal and 
NVidia supposedly is not all open source.

Thanks,
