Yup, I used debconf, and it is not giving the "radeon" driver option. Doese this mean I shouldn't use debconf for setting up X? > Also, what does your config look like?

After loading each module and showing their version number and other stuff, it says: (WW) ATI: PCI/AGP Mach64 in slot 1:0:0 could not be detected! (EE) No device detected.
