You should know what video card you have. If it's PCI, then running 'scanpci' will give you the identifier string it responds with -- that should be enough. But to answer your question, I think that XF86Setup comes with Debian, and that it should be able to guess what your card is. It sounds to me like you're going to need XF86Setup (or whatever X setup program comes with Debian -- I've had the same video card since before I even knew about XF86Setup or Xconfigurator, so I don't have any experience with such programs. Of course, the only sure-fire way to know what you've got under the hood is to open up the "hood" and look inside.
