Download the latest XSVGA server and install it -- I have the
3.3.6 one (latest stable version). Using RPMs is easier to
install.
I use a resolution of 1024x768 at 85Hz, but this is in function
of your monitor, not your card. Memory speed theoretically up to
230MHz, I only tried speeds up to 200MHz.
If your screen does not refresh properly when you move a window,
reduce the color depth to 16bits per pixel.
If your mouse pointer is a white square instead of an X or an
arrow (in any window manager -- KDE, windowmaker etc), reduce
your memory settings to 4M even if you have 8M.
Good luck!
