When running dpkg-reconfigure you'll be asked a series of questions, i've tracked my responses (hopefully accurately), here are my responses in order (someday i'll update this with the detail of the questions the responses are for)
1- Autodetect
2- fglrx
3,4,5- yes
6- 131072 (very specific to my own video card 128MB of ram, replace with a number that is accurate for the machine specific card)
7- No(kernel framebuffer question, not sure what real effect this has)
8- Yes
9- Enter
10- us
11- xorg
12- Enter
