You need ATI's binary only driver called FGLRX.

www.ati.com, drivers and software, choose linux, choose graphics driver, 
and choose any video card on the list (The driver is the same for all of 
them). Then click go.

On the next screen it will ask you to select your version of XFree. Then 
you download an RPM. How your distribution deals with RPMs is another 
discussion. I use gentoo and I used rpm2targz to convert it to a targz 
file. I believe in Debian you can use alien to convert it.

Hope that helps,
