[plug] Upgrade from Debian 4 to Debian 5 gone wrong

Hello.

I have just spent a couple of hours or so, trying to upgrade from Debian 
4 to Debian 5, and have lost XWindows.

The error messages when I try to run start x, are
"Failed to load module "ati" (module does not exist, 0)"
and
"No drivers available"

I assume that the upgrade deleted the graphics card driver.

How do I fix this, so that XWindows will run?

Thanks in anticipation.
