The video and input driver ABIs changed in xserver-xorg-core 1.3.99 (the
one in experimental), so all driver packages in experimental are built
for this new ABI and cannot work with 1.3 (in unstable).
But no driver actually depends on this new xserver-xorg-core. So you can
try rebuilding xserver-xorg-video-ati from experimental against
unstable. IIRC, you should just have to change the build dependency from
1.3.99.0 to 1.3.0 in debian/control.
Or you can try building to upstream driver manually with
http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/10936.html.
Let me know if you need help, I could possibly build the package (for
i386 and/or amd64) and put it online at http://people.debian.org.
