I think the warning is a bit muffled when it's expressed like this; it
might flow better as:

      You should use the free Radeon driver (in the package
      xserver-xorg-video-radeon) for these cards. Note that before the Radeon
      driver can be used it will be necessary to purge the fglrx-driver
      package (removal is not sufficient) and remove fglrx configuration from
      xorg.conf (and xorg.conf.d/).
      .
      You may install fglrx anyway (for example to drive some other card).

Well, the driver names aren't literal strings that need to be
preserved without grammatical endings.  In fact I've capitalised
"Radeon" above where it represents the upstream brand name.

The packagename and xorg.conf.d/ are verbatim strings, but the
translators ought to be able to recognise them.
