I installed ATI drivers via EnvyNG (installed from Synaptic). Had to
edit xorg.conf Device and the Extension section. I used xvinfo to
check if the changes I had made worked. Once the drivers where loaded
and I had the correct section in xorg.conf, xvinfo returned heaps of
info.


My working Xorg.conf

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.

# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.

# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
