I have two computers installed Debian sarge. One uses ATI readon 9000 and

Section "Device"
Identifier "Generic Video Card"
Driver "vesa"
Option "VBERestore" "true"
EndSection

1. did you choose different driver in she xserver-xfree86 configuration
dialog?

2. did you manually modify /etc/X11/FF86Config-4 before?

if the 2. is true, try what's mentioned in it:

# cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.custom
# md5sum /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 >/var/lib/xfree86/XF86Config-4.md5sum
# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
