which version of debian?
the package to install should be xserver-xorg-video-radeon, but in newer versions this is already installed.

the log files are:

$HOME/.xsession-errors
/var/log/Xorg.0.log

and look at the output of the commands:

lspci
glxinfo


while the support for ATI cards in debian testing/unstable is getting better with each new kernel, in debian stable i would recommend installing the fglrx driver from ATI, you can get this driver from the ATI homepage.

regards
