Doesn't look like it. With xserver-xorg 7.2-5 from unstable, and then  
running
# dpkg-reconfigure -fnoninteractive xserver-xorg
xorg.conf still detects the card as apm. Also, setting it to ati  
doesn't work either. I must set it to radeon.

The card shows up in lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV380 [Radeon  
X600 (PCIE)]
