This card has caused trouble to a lot of people (including me) and you'll
find quite a few threads about it in the archive of this mailing list.

Somewhere (I think http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/) I read X can only use 4 MB
from this card. You'll also find other useful information there.

If you have X working in Suse and if it's the same X version you can use the
XF86Config file from Suse in Debian and it should work.

man XF86Config
If this does not help and you're trying to get 3.3.6. working, try 4.0.x
instead. I have this card working with 4.0.1, but only with 16 bit color
depth. If 24 bit does not work put in
defaultcolordepth 16
