Sure. At least as I know newer Radeon card supported only in 4.3.0.
Anyway, here is my sources.list entry:
deb http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian ../project/experimental main
You have to specify '-t experimental', fe if you want to upgrade all
your packages to ones are available in experimental execute this:
apt-get -t exeperimental upgrade
Ofcourse you are free to install only XFree86 packages only - and note
experimental is not a complete distribution, but an experimental area
before a package is settle a reasonably good state for going into
unstable. Don't fear XFree86 4.3.0 is about to go into unstable somewhen
sooner or later, and I use it for months by now without problems.
Config: I can not help you I think as I have the old and simple Radeon.
But here is some pointers:
- compile kernel support for Radeon
- try XFree86 -configure and test the output config file
- if DRI does not work, try adding this to your XF86Config-4 file:
Section "DRI"
Mode 0666
EndSection
Happy haxing...

Well, that was a bit rude.
