Dear Eoin,
I would like to help you, but this list is about debian kde issues, not debian
install questions, or xfree86 issues.
I think that another lists will help you better.
Otherwise, I recommend you that try to identifie exactly what kind of vga card
you have, and do a search in google to find about it and xfree86 config.
Regards
