I recently did several new installs that use this video card. I have found the easiest method (using the new Debian Installer and kernel 2.6.7) is do the install, and then when X does not come up, reboot using the Knoppix CDROM, let Knoppix do it's thing and find the settings, then copy the Knoppix ramdisk version of /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to the newly installed HD. Takes care of display and mouse fine for me.
