Thanks to all who offered help. As suggested, I ran `dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86'. This took me through the familiar dialogue and
produced a new configuration-file. The problem initially
persisted. That is, the server aborted with the error-message:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Symbol xf86CreateI2CBusRec from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved!
Symbol xf86I2CBusInit from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved!

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It turned out, though, that the problem related to the fact that I had
enabled the framebuffer device option for the driver. When I disabled
this, the server started without error.

Thanks again for all your work,

Jim McCloskey
