For me SuSE 8.2 works quite well, detects my hardware and has lots of software packages bundled.

prosavage should work ok according to SuSE hardware database

lol, dude he just said Red Hat wasn't detecting his video card.

yes try Mandrake, SuSE, Lycoris might be worth a try, and maybe see if Knoppix will detect it, as it has excellent hw detection. there's a way to make that a permanent debian install on your hard disk, but you'd have to search the forums for how. others:
