SVGATextMode Chip ?

I have a SR9 Number 9 video card.  I am trying to setup SVGATextMode for this
new card.  Anyone have this card and know what Chipset I should uncomment
in TextConfig to get the card working?  When I use S3Virge I get

UNknown CHip ID 22e1

I have the S3_Virge chipset set in X11 and it works fine.

Right now in TextConfig I have

Chipset S3

Clocks   25.175  28.322  40.00   0.00   50.00  77.00  36.00  44.90
Clocks   130.00  120.00  80.00  31.50  110.00  65.00  75.00  94.50
