There are multiple radeon drivers. The two main ones are a kernel module for the
radeon hardware, and a display device driver for X. The X1200 requires the
radeon
kernel driver, but possibly not the radeon display device driver. The
alternative
is to remove xserver-xorg-video-radeon, which allows the newer technology
default
modesetting display driver to be used instead, if it supports the X1200. It does
not support my X1100, but it does my X1300.
