That's the rather old version for woody though, 2003.08.07-1 for sid is
available from

deb     http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/        ./

It contains an XFree86 CVS snapshot of the radeon driver, which has much
improved multihead support.

The renderer string specifies the driver name, not the specific chip.

There's a radeon manpage as of 4.3.0,
