You need to include "non-free" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, e.g.
deb http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
fglrx-control is currently only in Sid. If you use the "radeon" driver
then "radeontool" might also be worth a look, but its package
description sounds somewhat ominous. (Disclaimer: I have no direct
experience with ATI cards, I just did a quick search through the package
descriptions.)
