You'll need to:-
;install either the radeon FOSS driver, or the proprietary driver
;as noted by another poster - add backports to your repostitories list
(then update)
;install the latest debian kernel.(linux-image-3.12-0.bpo.1-$YourCPU)
You'll note I wrote that I'd originally pulled packages from testing to
get this card to work, packages from wheezy-backports should (now) work
for you. (no pinning required).

I've never bothered with VESA, so my success with the same card on
Debian may not be relevant (especially if you only use packages from
Wheezy).

I'm not familiar with that manufacturer - or the options in it's BIOS :)
Could you please provide more information?
If the details are not on the motherboard/case:-
If you have dmidecode installed, as root:-
dmidecode -t 1,2,3 | grep 'Manu\|Prod'
Or, if you have lshw installed, as root:-
lshw -short | head -n 4 | tail -n 2

Surely it shows what *is* detected, what is read from xorg.conf if it
exist, information about your monitor/s, and what is attempted and failed??
Which is why I asked for it... :)

The additional information is required to try and ensure nothing else
(other than drivers and a later kernel) will stop your video card from
functioning properly. There still remains possible problems with module
blacklisting and kernel parameters, which I sometimes find people have
"tried", and forgotten to revert to defaults.
Kind regards
