I'm using an HD2600 under squeeze. I have updated the libdrm* packages
to the unstable version (2.4.23-0.0), I can't remember why and maybe
it's even unneeded, but otherwise I think it's all squeeze:
xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.13.1-2+squeeze1
xserver-xorg-core 2:1.7.7-11
libgl1-mesa-dri 7.8.2-2

It works well, does OpenGL sufficiently to run XBMC. Sometimes Xorg
happens to die when playing movies, but it's quite rare.
