I'm not sure if debian still has packages of the rc releases available. if not, you will have to build from source. The xf86 is a vestige of the fact that these drivers originally came from xfree86 and the API's the implement were mostly from the xfree86 days. Also, remember to backup your original /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so.
