Ok, I have the same problem.. and my advice is that you install the
16colour VGA driver.. and use it instead of the SVGA driver (for now
anyway) then use xf86config to re do everything... dont use the card in
the database... just choose the option (2?) that is for standard vga
drivers.. you should be able to  use it... then use the Autoprobe for
clocks... then after that the only thing you have to do is edit
/etc/XF86Config
and remove the #  VideoRam nnnn
from your device.... i dont know why it comments it out but i removed it
because it wouldnt autodetect my videoram.....

hope that helps.
