Why should anybody need U 9.04 for that? It is not even real 3d, only xv.
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
I checked the kernel image and source are the same version :
linux-image-2.6.28-1-amd64 v. 2.6.28-2~snapshot.12850
linux-source-2.6.28 v. 2.6.28-2~snapshot.12850
I don't know why it can't find the sources.
Do I need a more recent kernel? (like a 2.6.29 rc)

That didn't change anything.

Now it seems to work, I'll have to test (still need to find a way to have a xserver-xorg-video-radeon package...)
Not to worry, I run Debian also and simply built the entire Radeon/DRM/Mesa stack from the latest git from the X.org site. Good instructions are available at the bottom of the Xorg Radeon wiki page. Note that you will want to switch the drm you get to the r6xx/7xx branch to get EXA 2D acceleration and XVideo. The instructions for that are on the RadeonHD R6xx/R7xx wiki page. Follow the instructions on how to build, except for the very first part about getting drm and radeonhd. You already got the drm from git and you want to use radeon, not radeonhd. The rest of the instructions are what you need. I haven't built the absolute latest git version as I built my driver a few days ago and like how it works, but the drm_pciids.h file in the git version I got was broken and killed the compile. There were some malformed strings in that file that I cleaned up so I could compile the module. If you get a lot of errors about drm_pciids.h during the drm module build, tell me and I'll hook you up with a cleaned-up version of drm_pciids.h.
