strange that you're encountering a problem on your video card model
(ati radeon 7500). I do have the same card, but didn't encounter much
problems:
Try doing the configuration the debian way via dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86. Chances are it would give you sane defaults for
vertical and horizontal refresh rates. If you've installed the
read-edid and discover packages it would help a lot.
Debconf should configure your setup to use the ati driver. Now, to
maximize your card's potential of 3D you'd have to provide the "Accel"
directive in your X configuration file.
