the reason for this is quite simple, the 1.2.1 driver version is to old:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-radeonhd/commit/?id=9e81b2ccf3451dc20b13db251b4cffbd3d765c07

The PCI id for your card was added on 2008-10-28, so you need at least
driver version 1.2.4 (1.2.3 was created on 2008-10-13).

Manually adding the id to the list doesn't make any sense, since this
list is just generated on compile time, and changing this file won't
change the list inside the compiled driver.

Yeah, but you didn't search the commit logs for the driver ;)

As Rafał mentioned you just need to compile the driver from source.
Mail me if you don't want/can't to do this do this on your own, my
developing box is an ubuntu 8.10, should be pretty easy for me to create
a Debian package for you.

Bye, Christian.
