Binary package hint: xserver-
On Hardy Heron, Alpha1+, when using

to rebuild the xserver configuration file xorg.conf, "radeonhd" is not included in the list of available video drivers even after the xserver-

I think this is due to /var/lib/ dpkg/info/ xserver- xorg.postinst:
if [ -n "$REAL_DRIVER_DIRS" ]; then LIST="$ (find $REAL_DRIVER_DIRS -name '*_drv.*' \ \([^/]* \)_drv\ .[^\._] *|\1|g' \ dummy|r128| radeon| v4l)' | sort -u | xargs \
# Build list of available video drivers, omitting the atimisc, r128, and
# radeon sub-modules (the ati driver knows when and how to load these).
# v4l is not a display driver, and dummy is for advanced users.

| egrep -v '(atimisc|

Here, "radeonhd" will match the "radeon" in the egrep pattern and it is mistakenly filtered out. If you edit the file and insert a "$" after "radeon" it will work: dummy|r128| radeon$ |v4l)' | sort -u | xargs \
| egrep -v '(atimisc|
