autogen is not part of radeonhd, it's part of tool set used to generate
a ./configure file, etc.

try to install the autoconf package to get it.

you can watch /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see what driver is being used.

if you're not comfortable with these steps, you should probably just
wait  until your distro includes radeonhd, or choose one that already
does (opensuse i think?)
