Debian: Reconfiguring X to new video card

[Paul King]

xserver-xfree86-dbg was a debug package. Removed the package, and that left the 
"ordinary" xserver-xfree86 4.3. I have to load the agpgart and radeon modules 
manually with modprobe, and once that is done, I still get "No screens found". 
Yes, the XF86Config-4 file was modified to "radeon".
