You need a newer kernel, probably the one from squeeze.

Could you please elaborate why I need a new kernel? Where is the
incompatibility?

..no, chk (or not at your own peril) X.org's radeon pages,
you're trying to run Sid or an old experimental radeon on

The radeon driver is using KMS now, which depends on the correct kernel
module being available.
