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!
