OK try SiS 6326 chipset (generic) on the video and Custom on the Monitor
Choose the sixth choice (Non-Interlaced SVGA)
and choose
50-90
for vertical
Now the file produced will be /etc/X11/XF86Config. It may be necessary to play with the interval in the timing loops
Modeline "640x480" 45.8 640 672 768 864 480 488 494 530 -HSync -VSync
The first numeric entry is clocking your interface chip. The next two numbers, in this case 640 and 672, should be changed if it appears your video almost works... to something a little tighter, like 640 663 Also there are a NUMBER of options you can use to custom-configure if necessary, all documented at www.XFree86.org and in the manual for XF86Config. Comment out some of thhe many modelines, or all but one at a time, and see if that helps, too, then keep only those which work.
The main thing is to tell install you have an AGP and that it is generic
SiS6326. That is the best hope for a supported driver. Otherwise,
talk to www.linuxmall.com for a commercial X server that will talk to your
card.
