man ati. Perhaps your card is not supported by Sarge's release of X.
Debian Etch (testing) contains xorg rather than xfree86, and this may be
of use. However as you are new to Debian, I would advise you to stick
with stable and use the xorg backport. Searching the archives of this
list should provide more information.
This is one of the problems with bleeding-edge hardware in Debian
Stable. It's best to check, before you purchase, whether it is supported.
Of course, you could use the vesa driver if you're not fussy. :)
