You will need to at least XFree86 3.3.2 or later, which you can get from
http://www.xfree86.org.  You must use the SVGA server and if you need further
help, you can try checking out http://www.suse.org, I think that they have
modified an XFree86 server for that card.  You could also look at the
documentation at http://www.xfree86.org or for a possible quick setup, you
could try http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Foothills/8328/

Good Luck
