I've had problems with an ATI card (a Radeon), but not the same type of card.

I'm not an expert, but I can tell you I had similar problems getting my Radeon
to work (I still can't get the video device working with Xawtv). I found I
had to move to X 4.2 to get it to work. You can do this if you use X from
the Testing branch instead of from Stable/Woody. If you don't want to get
involved with Testing, there are unoffical debs out there for 4.2 for Woody.
The URL someone gave me for this is:
http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/
I think that page also has instructions for adding that site as a source for
apt-get. I found I had to remove the x-common and x-server packages
(basically everything X) from my box, then re-install w/ version 4.2. Once I
did that, it worked fine.
You might try something similar. Some cards were not properly supported in X
4.1.
Hope this helps!
