this is an known problem for ati and nvidia, the binary drivers do not
support older chipsets.

did you try the new opensource driver included in squeeze? normally it
is enough to just delete the xorg.conf file and make sure the xorg
radeon drivers are installed.

i know its not an good advise to use testing/unstable, but in current
debian testing/unstable the support for ATI with opensource driver got
really good.
