This is not a Debian package version number.

Can you please reply to <247852@bugs.debian.org> with the output of the
following command?:

$ dpkg -l xserver-xfree86

The ATI Radeon Mobility M6 is not recognized or support by XFree86
4.1.0, as the above suggests.

If your X server was working before, it was likely because you had
overlaid it with some more recent version -- probably outside the
confines of the Debian package system.
