i do have an ATI RADEON graphics card with 256MB DDR


Looks like you're running stable (Woody).  It's likely that your
graphics card isn't supported in the older version of xserver-xfree86 in
Woody.  I would try upgrading to testing (Sarge) -- It has a newer
version of X.

I struggled with an ati radeon ve for some days, then I installed Xfree
4.3.0 (downloaded directly from www.xfree86.org) and it all worked fine
with a simple XFree86 -configure as illustrated in the INSTALL file.

hope this helps
