If you're running Sarge or Sid you don't need the ATI binary drivers.
In your XF86Config-4 choose the "ati" driver, check if your "radeon"
kernel module is loaded before launching X (needed for the DRM/DRI
stuff) and, after starting X if the command "glxinfo" shows the line
"direct rendering: Yes" you're running 3D HW acceleration...
