I was curious how to get the Radeon video card in my IBM X31 laptop working in other than generic mode. I read the Debian Wiki page on it .. http://wiki.debian.org/AtiHowTo and found it quite interesting. It seems that in many cases, there is no longer an xorg.conf file but the system probes the hardware on each startup. I found that the open-source radeon server was already installed and the only thing I needed to do to make the best of it (without using module assistant to install a further module) was to install the non-free firmware.
aptitude install firmware-linux-nonfree
I rebooted and a big improvement ...
Later ....
