No worries, thanks for the help anyway. In the end
opted for a return to Mandrake as it had just arrived
on the Linux Format DVD, to see how it's hardware
detection handled my Radeon and also my Broadcom
BCM5702 gigabit network card which had also been
overlooked by Debian. They both got picked up and I am
once again the proud owner of a fully functioning
Linux system. I'll have another go at Debian in a few
months when its possible it might work.

Thanks again,
