Ok, so even if radeonhd did recognize my chip, the radeon folks said I
should forget radeonhd and go with radeon.

This is a bit confusing since both
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.laptop/browse_thread/thread/c3fb8f212a9dd911
and
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_FireGL_V5200

mention using radeonhd instead of radeon.

So, could I get a definite answer? :)

Thanks,
Marc
