OK, following all your helpful comments I now have a fulling working kernel
2.4.18 + pcmcia-cs built from sources.
And the DRM kernel modules compiled and installed without any problems.
But then, when trying to restart the X server I get the following error:
/usr/bin/startxfce: Starting X server
...
XFree86 Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6510)
Release Date: 21 December 2001
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Fatal server error:
no screens found
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages.
This can be found in the log file "/var/log/XFree86.0.log".
Please report problems to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
So, I guess there is a version mismatch between the X server and the ati
driver. Do I really need to install XFree86 4.2.x then? Because the packages
from people.debian.org/~branden also require a newer libc6...
