But I don't know how to make xfree86 to use radeonfb.

Use "fbdev" as the driver in xfree, that will cause X to
run unaccelerated on top of radeonfb, so it will at least
be able to set mode & colors properly.

I think support for the 9000 have been added to XFree CVS
recently, though that may not yet be in the DRI one (and
so Michel snapshots). The XFree CVS is beeing merged
again into the DRI one now, so this should be fixed soon.
where can I find the .deb files from Michel, please ?
http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/README.Debian

Beware that the radeon 2D driver is still basically 4.2.0.
