    There are only two ways you can tell the XFree86 X server which driver to
    use in the d-i environment:

    1) Answer a debconf question.
    2) Have the question pre-answered by discover.
    Actually, the question was answered by discover (from config script):

    mob:/# /sbin/discover --disable=serial,parallel --format="%V %M\t%S\t%D\n" video
    ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility U1 XFree86 radeon

    There's the problem. "radeon" is not a legal value.

    Use "ati" instead.

    Do not use "atimisc", "r128", or "radeon".

    Clarification:

    Discover-data maintainers,

    This means you!

    The discover 2 database didn't even have an entry for this pci id (I've
    just added it).
    In any case, the above looks like a discover 1 command-line invocation.

    'radeon' should be perfectly legal, and just sedded to 'ati' in the
    XFree86 scripts if they really want to enforce this whole 'only ever use
    the wrapper' thingo.
