Can anybody please help me?
 
I own a ASUS-V2740 AGP 8 Mb videocard. For XFree86 the only service which
works is the
VGA16 (640x480, 16 colors).
Does anybody know how to setup Xfree86 to work in a higher resolution and
more colours for this card?

Thanks, thanks, thanks

I suspect this is a card with the i740 chipset.
Due to non disclosure agreements, this chip can't be supported by
Xfree86, but there are other X servers for it.
At the redhat web/ftp sites, it is possible to download a free
binaries-only server for this card.
You could also use commercial servers, but this is by far more
expensive. (for example http://www.scitechsoft.com/sdd.html )

You can download the XBF_i740, version 0.9.9
It works perfectly with an AUS AGP-V2740
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/XBF/XBF-i740-glibc-0.9.9-1.i386.rpm
or one of the mirror ftp-sites.
