Don't know the chip-set yet, maybe tomorrow.
I went to XFree86.org, and there the card is listed (it's actually a "Diamond
Stealth Video 2500", which should use the standard SVGA driver. The XFree86 FAQ
mentioned that problems with Diamond cards might be solved by adding the line
Option "Diamond" to the config file.
