If your using 6.0 you can use the XBF server. I believe it is located in
the /apps folder on the cd. Just follow the instructions in the readme
file. Version 6.1 has support built in. It has several different i740
cards listed, as well as a generic agp and pci i740.
Good Luck

without a more info about your setup it is hard to say a whole lot. Do some
