Mike:
Have you been to www.xfree86.org and checked out what they recommend for that
video card? I've never heard of that manufacturer, so I don't know what to tell
you.
Just checked their web page and they state that with the current version of X,
you should be able to use "XF86_SVGA" for your video card. You may need to go
in and run "Xconfigurator" and play around with that, or maybe "xf86config."
Good luck!
