Is this a laptop by any chance? My brother had the same thing with Debian on a laptop with a recent intel chipset. It may be that it isn't supported in your version of X or that the driver you are using is old (we never got that fixed properly ).
i810 was the correct driver, because it worked perfectly in Ubuntu - so my theory boiled down to being one of three things:
- an old kernel (sarge uses 2.4)
- an old driver
- an old version of X
The first I think is unlikely but the others are possible.
