Tiny resolution problem


Im currently trying to set up my desktop manager on my fresh installation of debian. I have chosen KDE, and everything has gone well so far. The only problem that I have encountered is that I cannot change my resolution to anything higher than 800x600, which, relative to what I am used to, is not even usable. I think it may have something to do with not having a driver loaded for my graphics card, which is a Radeon Mobile 9000 M, but I cannot find the driver online anywhere.

Here is my lspci output:

And here is the output of lsmod:

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this? I am currently running on a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop.

I reconfigured XF86Config so that it is using the radeon driver. Now whenever I try to change my resolution to 1024x768, however, it seems to be splitting my monitor into 3 sections and displaying it in the wrong order. Any ideas what is wrong with it now?
