1) make a backup copy of XF86Config, just in case; 2) install (if you didn't yet) xserver-svga, and make it your default x server when the installation script ask you if you want to; 3) start playing with XF86Setup; your card appears in the supported card list; read carefully the XF86Setup messages! they were very useful to me! if you completely screw up the system, put back on your backupped XF86Config, uninstall xserver-svga and restart. a very useful thing when you don't know exactly what's going on is # X 2>&1 > X.log you should see a dot-textured screen with the x mouse cursor. press ctrl-alt-backspace to terminate the X server, and read the messages in X.log this has been very helpful to me, but i never read it anywhere! maybe it could be helpful in some HOWTO. have fun. pietro.
