I've tried
http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/01/msg00680.html
and were able to run X. But only in 2-D Mode. DRI doesn't work but
freezes with both xlibmesa and libgl1-mesa. The newest DRI modules
are in my kernel, though. The 2-D mode shows some errors related to
my synaptic driver which I didn't investigate yet.
