Sources, I believe, not source packages ;->

I should be able to do this sort of testing during weekend.
As I'm not very accustomed to building stuff from pristine sources,
I'll try to build 6.9.0 first - to verify it works like the version
from Debian packages, proving also my building process is correct.
Judging from Debian package 'xserver-xorg-video-radeon' contents, I'll
need 'radeon_drv.so', 'theatre_detect_drv.so', 'theatre_drv.so' and
'theatre200_drv.so'. Just compile it (in the same virtualized
environment, as Debian packages mentioned in my previous tests) and
copy these files to appriopriate location on my system?
