Seems the last update broke some of the drivers, I would remove
xserver-xorg-video-nsc, xserver-xorg-video-nsc, xserver-xorg-video-all,
and reinstall xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd or xserver-xorg-video-ati
(the newer driver that has replaced the ageing radeonhd one).

Also try updating the aptitude cache, maybe its got confused.

Did the solver give you any other options?
