Mick, Remembering your last post, you might find this page useful. http://helmsdeep.net/capn-k/?sub=linux&id=asus-laptop
On that page you'll find a link to my XF86Config-4 In the end I avoided the PCI ID stuff, as the later Xfree was able to identify the video card properly. I don't know what level of Radeon you have, but you'll most likely find you have to upgrade your Xfree installation to the one found in the debian 'testing' distribution. At the time I wrote that Xfree 4.2 hadn't hit 'testing' ( AKA 'sarge', http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ ), but I believe it has now. You also mentioned the Realtek 8139, which I dealt with too.
