True. These are not part of Debian itself though which is why I usually
forget to check package versions over there.
They are mantained by Christian Marillat who is a Debian developer as
well. I have those in my sources.list as well to be able to play DVD
videos etc.

Which is quite a task for somebody new to Linux. Especially since I was
unable to find out which kernel version has support for the A4-6300.
Same for the radeon driver. Easiest would be to just try it and check
the output in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It should report something like this:
torsten@defiant:~$ glxinfo|head -n 20
name of display: :0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
The most important part is that "direct rendering: Yes" line.
Greetings, Torsten
