Does your card support standard VGA graphics at 640*480 under DOS or
Windoze?  If the answer is yes, then you should be able to run X11
with the standard or SVGA driver in that mode.

What exactly have you achieved so far and what error messages etc are
you getting?

It may also help if you give us your version numbers for the kernel
(uname -r) and XF86.
