Apt question

Hmm, I wonder how many Debian types we have on this list. There must be
some, I'm sure.
I'm working on getting Debian going on my workstation. Thus far I've
installed Woody and upgraded to Sid. I'm running into trouble with one
thing, though. The version of XFree86 in Sid is still too old to support my
Radeon 7500. I need 4.3. There are supposed to be packages for 4.3 in
experimental, but I can't seem to get apt to see them. I didn't have this
issue upgrading to Sid, so I'm not sure what I've goofed. My sources.list
looks like this:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/ debian/project/experimental/main/binary-i386/
deb http://http.us.debian.org/
debian/project/experimental/contrib/binary-i386/
deb http://http.us.debian.org/
debian/project/experimental/non-free/binary-i386/
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/ debian/project/experimental/main/source/
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/
debian/project/experimental/contrib/source/
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/
debian/project/experimental/non-free/source/
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
#deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
#deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
#deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
I commented out the Sid stuff to see if I could force it to use the
experimental stuff, but when I run apt-get upgrade it says:
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I went into
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/project/experimental/main/binary-i386/Packa
ges to make sure the packages for 4.3 were listed there. They are. So how
do I get APT to recognize them?
